I’m the kind of person who has 50 different playlists for my 50 different moods. I could spend hours carefully curating my playlists, from the Spotify cover, to the playlist title, to the order of the songs. I love making playlists for the people I care about. I think sharing music is such an intimate experience, and it always makes me so happy when people say things like “I love this playlist you made” or “this song reminded me of you”. With that said, here are my top 5 songs right now…

“Right Guy” by ALX

This song is way too short for what a bop it is. It’s the song you’ll catch me passionately mouthing the lyrics to on the street under my mask.

“Rainbow Bap” by Jaden

I literally had this song on repeat the whole week and I still cannot get it out of my head. Not complaining, though.

“War With Heaven” by keshi

Going through a Keshi phase after seeing him live. Still can’t believe that happened. Nobody talk to me right now :’)

“spinnin” by mazie

This song is just so much fun. I have to physically stop myself from skipping down the street when it comes on.

“problems” by 44phantom

I don’t know how to explain it but this song makes me feel things. 44phantom never misses.

I go through such strange phases with music. One minute I’m listening to a playlist of just Taylor Swift (SO EXCITED FOR RED TV) and the next I have Freddie Dredd mumbling about murder in my ear. I will literally listen to anything, so please send me song recommendations!
