Music Mondays – August Playlist

Remember last month when we were discussing how this summer has been severely lacking in awesome musical hits?  Well, the music gods heard our pleas and have all but flooded us with amazing new track after amazing new track.  Suffice it to say I am really excited to share this August playlist.

Starting things off is Justice with “Safe and Sound” off of their first full-length studio release since 2011.  Yes, you read that right.  Since 2011.  They’re back and I couldn’t be more excited.  A bit later is the epic collaboration turned anthem “What We Started” from Don Diablo, Steve Aoki and Lush & Simon featuring BullySongs.  Based on how much I have been playing this one, it is definitely in the running for my personal song of the summer.  The Chainsmokers and Halsey collaborated on “Closer” which all but encompasses my obsession for both of them in one single song.  Phantogram teased their upcoming album by dropping “Run Run Blood”, a layered and fluid song with a nearly orchestral feel.  Last but certainly not least is “Palm of My Hand” from ZHU.  His entire new album is worthy of a listen and naturally had to be represented on my August playlist.

There is so much I love about this edition of Music Mondays.  I only hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Music Mondays – March Playlist

This March playlist was my favorite to compile thus far.  I can’t help but smile and be put in a good mood when I listen to it.  It feels to me like it carries in it a bit of the hopeful and playful air of Spring that neither January or February’s playlists did.

Just as I did last month I had to include School of Seven Bells and Seinabo Sey…I love both of these songs too much not to share them!  I think my ultimate favorite song of the playlist however is “Jealousy” from Robert DeLong.  Though this was released in 2015, I did not hear much of it.  In fact, I don’t believe I have ever even seen him perform it live during the couple of shows of his I have gone to!  The song has a surprisingly poppy tone to and I’m kind of loving it.

This past week was incredibly busy and more than a little stressful for me and this playlist lifted my spirits on a daily basis and helped me through to the weekend.  I hope it will do the same for you!
