Hello again! So today, we’re gonna get real chill here. During this whole pandemic, I’ve been listening to music now more than ever. However, I have ALWAYS been a music lover. My music taste is best described as “everything except for the songs I don’t like.” So, with that in mind, these are just some of the songs I’ve currently had heavily on rotation.
Leave Me Alone – NF
This is ABSOLUTELY worth the listen. Not only are his rap abilities impressive as hell (to say the least), BUT, he’s also talking very openly about the realities of his mental health struggles. I have only recently discovered NF as an artist, however, I now have numerous of his songs on heavy rotation. So, another one worth the listen….
If you Want Love – NF
I low key still cry sometimes when this song plays. I do it to myself. The message of this song is so powerful for me! One of the lyrics I really love is “I’ve always tried to control things, but in the end that’s what controls me.” It’s just such a relatable song for anyone who has ever struggled in relationships. Now for something more fun and light hearted…
Cover Girl – BIA
Yeah I really switched it up with this one! I try not to spend all of my time in my feels, so, I still need some Bad Bitch Energy songs. This is my ultimate “feelin’ myself” song ATM. It is literally impossible not to dance alone in your room to this song at midnight. Play it in the car. Play it while you get ready. Play it while you’re cleaning. Bad Bitch Energy, all the time.
Smiling When I Die – Sasha Sloan
This song is such a good reminder TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF LIFE. It’s so catchy, but the lyrics are so powerful and meaningful. Some of my favorites are “There’s been a couple times that I fell in love, but a couple times just ain’t enough.” Another favorite lyric is “Yesterday felt like my graduation, but now some of those kids have got their own. It’s been awhile since I took a vacation, it’s been awhile since I really let go.” It’s so worth putting on repeat for the Summer! And because I also really love this artist….
Older – Sasha Sloan
This song is for any child of divorce. This song is for anyone who had some less than perfect parents growing up. I have cried to this song numerous times. This is one of those songs that is just going to hit you right in the soul if you can relate to it. Some of my favorite lyrics are “The older I get the more that I see, my parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me.” And “I used to be mad, but now I know, sometimes it’s better to let someone go.”
Blind – Jordyn Jones
This song is SO DAMN CATCHY! But on top of that, as always with me, I once again love the emotion behind the song. I think most people can relate to this song with at least one person in their lifetime. Some of my favorite lyrics are “I fall deep, take the pain ’til I can’t breathe. My heart is in your hands, you hurt me ’cause you can.” Just such a good overall song to have on the playlist.
Wave – Meghan Trainor Ft. Mike Sabath
I think Meghan Trainor is honestly so underrated right now! Her newest music is, in my opinion, by far her best! I liked some of her older stuff, but it was never something I heavily played on a playlist of mine. I have totally become a fan though, with her newer music (check out Nice to Meet Ya ft. Nicki Minaj too). This song is SO CATCHY and also just has amazing vocals and lyrics as always with Ms. Trainor. IDK how she balanced “catchy” and “moody” so well together! Some of the lyrics include “I want what I can’t have, still holding onto hope. Drowning in my tears, this love’s a sinking boat.” Honestly, just such a bop.
Good in Bed – Dua Lipa
Let me just start by saying, her entire new album, ‘Future Nostalgia,’ is so unique. The title of the album is absolutely fitting! It somehow feels both futuristic, and like something you’ve heard before. Anyway, well done Dua Lipa. This song IS A BOP! The beat is so catchy and it just makes you wanna dance. On another note, I think that again, this is pretty relatable for a lot of people. Some of my fav lyrics are “I dedicate this verse to all that good pipe in the moonlight and all the long nights where we did everything but talk it through, that’s what we do.” LOL sorry mom ❤
