It happens to the best of us. We get stuck listening to the same music over and over again until we are bored out of our minds. Spotify does a good job of pulling different songs and putting them into easy to access playlists for just this reason. Here are a few of my go-to playlists for new music!

1) A Perfect Day

This playlist has the perfect combination of new music and some rockin’ oldies. “Shallow” by Lady Gaga, “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John, and “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles are just three songs that populate this playlist. There are so many songs on here that throw me back to middle-school and a few that I have never heard before, but that make me want to dance the day away.

 

2) Hanging Out and Relaxing

This is the playlist that I listen to while doing homework. The melodies and lyrics help set the tone to write the hundreds of papers I seem to have due each week. This playlist also has songs that are in my personal music collection. When those come on, it’s a good break where I can sing my little heart out. Songs: “Ophelia” by The Lumineers, “Anywhere” by Passenger, and “Silver Lining” by Mt. Joy.

 

3) Songs to Sing in the Car

If you don’t already know all the words to these songs, you will by the end of it. This combination of music is a slam dunk for everyone. They are the perfect songs for singing in the car! Songs: “Georgia” by Vance Joy, “Work Song” by Hozier, and “Shake” by The Head and the Heart.

 

4) Morning Motivation

Don’t be mistaken by the name, this playlist is perfect for anytime of day! Most of the songs on this list are upbeat, happy songs to get your day going. I love listening to it on the bus while I’m headed to class. Songs: “Saturday Sun” by Vance Joy, “High Hopes” by Panic! At The Disco, and “Tongue Tied” by Troye Sivan.

 

Hope these playlists help you find some new music to jam to!
