Music Mondays – July Playlist

July 11, 2016

To be completely honest I struggled with this July playlist. For the most part I try to share new releases and, not to be a downer, this summer hasn’t brought the songs of the summer type hits like past summers have. I feel quite strongly about this and even re-tweeted an article The Daily Beast put out about the very topic a few days ago. There are obviously a few front runners for “song of the summer” but everything in between has sounded a bit monotonous to me. This playlist therefore encompasses a wide range of genres however I did still try to create a feel good summer playlist for you all that includes a little something for everyone.

I would love to hear what you have on repeat right now and consider the “song of the summer”!

Music Mondays – February Playlist

February 15, 2016

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!

Music Mondays – January Playlist

January 18, 2016

I can’t begin to tell you how incredibly excited I am to start this new series on Musings on Momentum. Music has always been a huge part of my life; in fact I am a classically trained pianist who performed and competed seriously throughout my youth, I danced both ballet and hip hop growing up and cheered in college, and I obviously attend A LOT of concerts and festivals. I have been longing to incorporate more of that part of my life into this blog since its inception.

That desire led to the creation of Music Mondays. On the second Monday of each month I’m going to share a playlist of my favorite music at the moment. Most of my choices will be relatively new, but there will also be some remixes of familiar hits and old favorites mixed in every now and then.

It is my hope that by sharing some of my favorites with you, you will in turn be prompted to share yours with me, exposing us both to awesome new music! Be sure to check out January’s playlist and share your favorite music of the month in the comments section below!
