You all! Hi! How are you this week? For me this week was a little muddier than most. In times of sludge I doubly rely on music to make me dance out of that funk. Here are ten songs that will instantly put you in a good mood. Press play and hop out of bed baby! It’s time to greet the day!
1. This Whole Concert From Anderson .Paak
Anderson .Paak’s whole Tiny Desk Concert is filled with so much joy it would be impossible to not be filled with that same energy after a listen! And as a friend of mine always says: sometimes you want to listen to a song that’s gonna call you a hoe ;). And his SMILE! omg.
2. This Reminder We All Need From Time to Time
Our sweet acting professor from school would remind us after class to keep breathing and the Ariana Grande song “Breathin” is that reminder for us all now. Breathing is a subconscious activity, but sometimes our bodies need a little help. Plus the song in general just fricken’ bops.
3. This Queer Lil Headbanger
We stan a lesbian icon. We also stan the teenage heartbreak rage vibes in “Talia” by King Princess. The chorus will make you need to seriously rock out.
4. This Classic
If “I Want You Back” doesn’t make you immediately dance and smile??? You a Grinch. Straight up. That’s it.
5. This!
Lilly Allen nailed it with “L8 CMMR”. It sounds like, is fun like, and talks about love like it’s a video game. Spectacular!
6. ! Fricken This !!!
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest artist of our generation. The stories he tells through his music are masterful and necessary. Making millions of fans sing along and therefore say “I love myself” over and over with his song “i”? Iconic.
7. This Saucy Anthem
Do yourself a favor and make sure you pay attention to the video for “Touch” by Little Mix. So fun! So flirty! So sexy! These girls are sooo the right vibe with which to start off the day. Bonus points for learning the dance too. If you want to perform it in the club with me apply in the DMs.
8. This KPop Dream
So fun! So cute! So diverse in the video! Amazing!
9. This HAMILTON Masterclass In Joy
“Helpless” from Hamilton sounds like how falling in sweet young lust feels. It literally sounds like flirting with your crush and having them reciprocate feelings! It fills me with a joy that 11 year old me felt when a cute lil dude started grinding on me in a Club 18*. A feeling of knowing you’ve met the one and nothing bad could ever happen again.
10. This Delightful Weirdo
Kimbra! Gets it! “Cameo Lover” is the dance track we deserve! Her alt pop sound hits you right in the funny bone. Plus the lyrics are tres relatables** amiriteladies?
I had the best time putting this list together. Can you say, dance party time? If you want the playlist on the go you can check it out on Spotify! There are some bonus tracks on the Spotify playlist btw. Tell me the songs I need to add on Instagram or Facebook!
