Music Mondays – November 2018 Playlist

November 9, 2018

This November playlist is a bit different than those that have come before it. I have generally kept my playlists for this month moody and mellow, but my November 2018 playlist is quite the opposite. It is upbeat and meant to get your toes tapping and put a smile on your face.

In the past, I have found myself run down and very much in need of a break and reset by the time November rolls around, something you can pick up on in my November playlists of yesteryear. This year however, November marks the month when everything in my life is starting to fall into place in a way that is nothing short of serendipitous. So, I hope you will all humor me this month and join me in rocking out to some happy tunes meant to wrap up your year in a joyous fashion.

Music Mondays – October 2018 Playlist

Fall is in full swing and I could not be more excited to celebrate the season. For the first time since I moved to Southern California nine years ago, I am experiencing autumn in all its glory. Everywhere I look I see signs of the season, from gorgeous fall colors to pumpkins galore, and I just can’t get enough. To commemorate what is quickly becoming my favorite month of the year, I have put together this October 2018 playlist. It is full of upbeat songs by both old and new favorites, designed to keep a smile on your face as we move towards Halloween. So sit back, sip that Pumpkin Spiced Latte, and crank up the volume!

There are signs of fall around every turn. To get you in the autumn swing of things, give this October 2018 playlist a listen. It is full of exciting new artists as well as old favorites, sure to get you in a cozy fall kind of mood. #playlist | musingsonmomentum.com

Music Mondays – September 2018 Playlist

September 5, 2018

How is it possible that we are already entering into the final four months of 2018? It feels like just yesterday that I was posting my January 2018 playlist and here we are heading into autumn. I have said it before and I will say it again, time sure does fly the older you get.

Though the year may have passed at warp speed, I am hoping that these last days of summer don’t. My September 2018 playlist is full of upbeat tunes to help make the transition from summer to fall just a bit easier. It is my hope that this blend can provide the perfect soundtrack to your last leisurely days of the season.

Music Mondays – October Playlist

October 10, 2016

I have to admit that I set out to create a much more mellow October playlist than the one I’m sharing with you today. I initially had a vision of cozy fall evenings in mind but inspiration ultimately took me in a much different direction. This edition of Music Mondays therefore covers a wide range of genres and, for that reason, is probably more representative of my musical tastes than any playlist has previously been.

My October playlist includes a few newer artists like Wiktoria, a Swedish singer and songwriter with a sound that is equal parts country and soul. You’ll find a killer collaboration between Kaskade and deadmau5 featuring Skylar Grey which I can only describe as hauntingly melodic. The playlist also features my favorite standbys of late, The Chainsmokers and ZHU, as well as some old friends. Hello Green Day and Kings of Leon, you have been missed. What can I say? This playlist has my heart.

Music Mondays – September Playlist

September 12, 2016

This month’s playlist is quite a departure from the cheery compilations of songs that got us through the long and hot days of summer. We started off the season with an upbeat June playlist that took me back to the days of my youth when I made beginning of the summer mixes that epitomized the months of fun to come. In July I bemoaned the fact that the summer of 2016 was severely lacking in the classic anthems that we all hear so many times that we love, hate, and then finally love again as they continue to remind us of specific sunny day memories. August brought a mix filled with hit after hit that goes down as my favorite playlist to date, certainly one that I will continue to listen to for months to come. And here we are…the summer of 2016 is officially coming to a close in a little over a week and our hearts and minds are falling headfirst into autumn, as represented in this September playlist. So bundle up, marvel over the beauty of the falling leaves, and get ready to enjoy the pumpkin spiced lattes to come.
