Mako | Musings on Momentum

Happy January, friends! I can scarcely believe that it’s time to share my January 2017 playlist. Just a little over one week into the year and it already feels as if it is going to be another one that flies by. I figure if it’s going to pass by in the blink of an eye like its predecessor, the least I can do is help all of us to have a good soundtrack playing in the background.

This first Music Mondays playlist of the new year is an eclectic mix of old and new favorites. Lupe Fiasco, for example, is making his first Music Mondays appearance and I couldn’t be more excited. I went through a huge Lupe phase towards the end of college and, to this day, whenever I hear anything from him I’m immediately taken back to that exciting time of my life. Isn’t it amazing how music can transport you to another time and place?

I hope you all enjoy this first edition of Music Mondays of 2017. There are many more to come!

Am I ever excited to share my February playlist with you guys today! I am having such a good time with these Music Mondays posts…they are giving me an excuse to suss out awesome new music rather than falling back on whatever the radio happens to be playing at any given time. Let me tell you, I’ve discovered some artists who I absolutely adore!

In fact it is thanks to creating January’s playlist that I was first exposed to Troye Sivan. I included his song “Cool” on last month’s playlist and had to throw “Youth” onto this one. I am so obsessed with him that I have become that person who, in the middle of a conversation with a friend, will say, “Have you heard of Troye Sivan? You’ve GOT to check him out!”. Yep, I’m THAT weirdo. If nothing else, please give him a listen!

For my February playlist I branched away from including too many Valentine’s Day inspired songs in hopes of creating something that will continue to be listenable as the month progresses. I hope you guys enjoy it and discover some new music that you love! Let me know what you think!
