3.Sam Smith – he is a must when it comes to studying! He is my personal most listened to artist out there, of course we all know Sam Smith for his best known songs such as Stay With Me and I’m not the only one, however when you listen to his album you get so much more out of it, from fun and fast to slow and relaxing making it the best study playlist put there!
Personal Favorites – Good Thing, Lay Me Down
4. Paloma Faith – Her voice is so unique and relaxing making her an easy candidate for the top 5 list! Her songs are all different and you will never get bored of listening to them! She’s a savior when it comes to getting me through studying!
Personal Favorites – Black & Blue, Only Love Can Hurt Like This
5. Alicia Keys – My final person that needs to be on this list if Alicia Keys, while she might not have published that much recently her old music never fails to keep me motivated and put a smile on my face! She is such an independent woman and leaves me feeling empowered to study for that oh so horrible subject!
Personal Favorites – If I Ain’t Got You, Girl on Fire.
