With the weather starting to get warmer, it’s time to switch things up. As we swap out gloves and scarves for sunglasses and short sleeves, it’s also time we swap out what we’re listening to. If you’re in a rut trying to find music to match your spring vibe, look no further.
Now, before you panic, I’d like to reassure you of one thing… There’s a method to the madness here. Of the 30 songs compiled below for your listening pleasure, I’ve broken them up into three categories to truly match the amazing feeling warm weather brings.
