My friends all have very different music tastes and are where I usually find a lot of new music to listen to. I love when I am hanging out with them and hear a new song. I decided to ask a few of my friends five songs that they really like at the moment and use their song choices to make a playlist for this week.
My Playlist:
I’m starting this playlist off with a few songs I really like, because this is my blog and I can do what I want.
Song: 2002
Artist: Anne-Marie
Genre: Pop
My Thoughts: This song is really fun and I love the chorus
Song: Lonely Together
Artist: Avicii feat. Rita Ora
Genre: Dance
My Thoughts: I love this song. It is really fun and great to listen to when you are working out. RIP Avicii
Song: Ye vs. the People (starring T.I. as the People)
Artist: Kanye West
Genre: Rap
My Thoughts: Kanye West is crazy. My roommate hates him. My favorite thing about him is that he is married to Kim Kardashian. But this song is interesting. I like it.
Song: Living
Artist: Dierks Bentley
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: I like the message of this song.
Song: Money Bag
Artist: Cardi B
Genre: Rap
My Thoughts: I love Cardi B. Her whole album is fire and I’m just obsessed with her.
Song: Strawberries & Cigarettes
Artist: Troye Sivan
Genre: Pop/Alternative
My Thoughts: This song has a really cool sound. It sounds like something that would be on the Perks of Being a Wallflower soundtrack.
Steph’s Playlist:
Steph is really indie, alternative, and cool which her playlist really captures. She is also one of the funniest people I know. Luckily she agreed to be interviewed for my blog and the video does not disappoint! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Song: Sky Walker
Artist: Miguel feat. Travis Scott
Genre: R&B
My Thoughts: Miguel has a really calming voice and the song sounds pretty cool, but my favorite part of this song is Travis Scott.
Song: Come a Little Closer
Artist: Cage the Elephant
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: I really like Cage the Elephant. My favorite song by them is Cigarette Daydreams, but this is a close second. I love this band’s sound and their lyrics are really good.
Song: Somebody Else
Artist: The 1975
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: I love the 1975 so much. This is my favorite song off their most recent album. I was really excited when Steph and I became friends because she likes a lot of the same alternative bands that I do.
Song: Dreaming
Artist: Mac DeMarco
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: I’ve never heard of Mac DeMarco until I met Steph and honestly up until three minutes ago I thought his name was Matt. He has a really alternative sound to him so if that is not your thing, this song might not be for you.
Song: Florida Kilos
Artist: Lana Del Rey
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: Lana Del Rey is a queen. Steph and I saw her in January and it was life changing. Lana is one of my favorite artists. She has a cool voice and vibe. I want to listen to this song on repeat.
Lindsay’s Playlist:
This playlist is full of country music and it is perfect, just like Lindsay (ily Big)!!!
Song: Tequlia
Artist: Dan +Shay
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: This is one of my favorite songs ever. Dan +Shay have such a relaxing sound to their voices and this song is just so perfect.
Song: Break Up in the End
Artist: Cole Swindell
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: This song is sad and not one of my favorite Cole Swindell songs, but it is still pretty good.
Song: High Horse
Artist: Kacey Musgraves
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: This song is a MOOD. Kacey Musgraves has a fun pop sound to her music without being Taylor Swift annoying, its nice. Every time I listen to Kacey Msgraves I get really sad that I’m not seeing her on tour with Harry Styles, but that is neither here or there.
Song: In Between
Artist: Kelsea Ballerini
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: Lindsay brought me to see Kelsea Ballerini a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. I love her music and this is one of my favorite songs off her new album. For any girl in their early/mid 20s this song is really relatable.
Song: Something ‘Bout You
Artist: Sir Rosevelt
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: I really like this song. Seeing what country artists look like though sometimes ruins the song. The man on the left in the photo is scaring me.
Danielle’s Playlist:
Danielle is my twin sister, but we are very different. Danielle hates country music and only really listens to pop and alternative, but that works out for me, because she is always listening to really cool songs.
Song: Sweater Weather
Artist: The Neighbourhood
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: This song reminds me of the winter. I really like this song and Danielle introduced me to it when it first came out our freshman year of high school.
Song: Better Now
Artist: Post Malone
Genre: Rap
My Thoughts: I love Post Malone. This isn’t my favorite favorite song on his new album but all the songs on the album are my favorite song right now so
Song: Say Amen (Saturday Night)
Artist: Panic! At the Disco
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: Panic! At the Disco peaked with “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out”, but they will always own a piece of my emo heart. I’m really excited for their new album and I really love this song. Danielle probably beats me at being the most emo sister though.
Song: Youngblood
Artist: 5 Seconds of Summer
Genre: Pop
My Thoughts: My sister discovered 5 Seconds of Summer before they were slightly popular and on tour with One Direction so go her! I used to really like this song but my suite mate that I don’t like plays this song on repeat every time she takes a shower so now I hate it.
Song: Pray
Artist: Sam Smith feat. Logic
Genre: Pop
My Thoughts: I don’t like Sam Smith. I don’t really know why I don’t like him, but it is just a no from me. I really like Logic though. This song is better than the Sam Smith songs that pollute the radio.
Tyler’s Playlist:
If you like rap this is the mini playlist for you.
Song: Power Trip
Artist: J. Cole feat. Miguel
Genre: Rap
My Thoughts: I love J. Cole, huge fan, great guy. This is pretty much the most basic J. Cole song, but it is iconic.
Song: Roll in Peace
Artist: Kodak Black feat. XXXTENTACION
Genre: Rap
My Thoughts: Okay, so I’m very uncultured when it comes to rap music so I had no clue who Kodak Black was, but I googled him and now I am afraid.
Song: Plain Jane
Artist: A$AP Ferg
Genre: Rap
My Thoughts: I like this song a lot. I actually didn’t know the name of this song so shoutout to Tyler because now I know. Thanks pal.
Song: God’s Plan
Artist: Drake
Genre: Rap
Song: Look Alive
Artist: BlocBoy JB feat. Drake
Genre: Rap
My Thoughts: Drake is an icon. I hope Canada erects a statue of Drake in the center of Toronto.
Sarah’s Playlist:
Sarah has the most diverse music taste out of all my friends. Her playlists are always amazing and she is the only person I know who loves country music just as much as she loves rap.
Song: Blood Type
Artist: Cautious Clay
Genre: R&B
My Thoughts: “Turn it up and put both headphones in to get the full effect” -Sarah. This song is actually as good as Sarah hyped it up to be. I high key recommend taking Sarah’s advice and listening to this song with both headphones in for the full effect.
Song: lovely
Artist: Billie Eilish & Khalid
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: Shocked and upset I have never heard this song until now. It is really good. I feel like if I would listen to this on a rainy day I would get into my ~feels~
Song: You Are the Reason
Artist: Calum Scott
Genre: Pop
My Thoughts: Sarah said this songs makes her cry, so clearly it makes me cry. Its so sweet and sad and cute and perfect and wow there are tears on my computer. Get your tissues ready people!!!
Song: Rearview Town
Artist: Jason Aldean
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: Sarah said this song reminds her of home. I like Jason Aldean and this album is really good.
Sarah’s last recommendation is the entire Post Malone album, beerbongs & bentleys. I second this recommendation. This album has recently been filling all the voids in my life. Huge Post Malone guys.
Marissa’s Playlist
Marissa listens to a lot of really chill and calming music. She also loves classical music, but lucky for us she did not include anything classical on her mini playlist.
Song: IDGAF
Artist: Dua Lipa
Genre: Pop
My Thoughts: I love this song so much and I even featured it on one of my songs of the week playlists. It is a total mood and I think it is really fun.
Song: Burning Man
Artist: Andrew Watt feat. Post Malone
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: I’ve never heard this song before but anything Post Malone touches is gold.
Song: Arabella
Artist: Arctic Monkeys
Genre: Indie Rock
My Thoughts: I recommend listening to the Arctic Monkeys entire AM album.
Song: Liability
Artist: Lorde
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: I hate Lorde, but Marissa finally found a Lorde song that I don’t hate. I like the chorus of this song.
Song: Ain’t No Rest For the Wicked
Artist: Cage the Elephant
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: Not the best Cage the Elephant song, but probably the most popular.
Kyle’s Playlist:
I call Kyle my emo friend, but he claims he is not that emo. He just doesn’t listen to ~mainstream~ music. This is a mini playlist with alternative and rock songs.
Song: Light Up the Sky
Artist: Yellowcard
Genre: Rock
My Thoughts: I ask Kyle to give me song recommendations all the time and this is probably my favorite song he has ever shown me.
Song: Broken
Artist: lovelytheband
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: This song is played on the radio a lot, but that’s okay because it is really good. I like this song, because the lyrics are kinda sad but the background music is super upbeat so the song isn’t depressing and it is actually kind of fun.
Song: Cailin
Artist: Unwritten Law
Genre: Rock
My Thoughts: I was informed that this song was written for one of the band member’s daughter, which is so sweet and cute.
Song: Hands Down
Artist: Dashboard Confessional
Genre: Rock
My Thoughts: This song is featured on my One Tree Hill playlist. This song is really iconic to me, but I would love it even if it wasn’t in One Tree Hill.
Song: Float On
Artist: Modest Mouse
Genre: Alternative
My Thoughts: I saw this song on a “Everything Will Be Okay” playlist and that made me really happy for some reason. I like the message of this song, it does make me feel like everything is going to be okay.
Katy’s Playlist:
Katy and I have pretty much the same music taste which is country music and pop music. I really like her mini playlist and hope you will too!
Song: May We All
Artist: Florida Georgia Line feat. Tim McGraw
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: Florida Georgia Line makes me so happy!! This song reminds me of home and I love it so much.
Song: Unapologetically
Artist: Kelsea Ballerini
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: Kelsea Ballerini has such fun songs! I want to sing this song very loudly in the car.
Song: Renegades
Artist: Thomas Rhett
Genre: Country
My Thoughts: Thomas Rhett is my favorite artist and I really recommend listening to his entire “Life Changes” album. This song is really fun and I love it. My favorite song off of the “Life Changes” album is Leave Right Now.
Song: Perfect
Artist: Ed Sheeran
Genre: Pop
My Thoughts: This is basically everyone’s wedding song right now, and for a good reason. This song is so sweet. You can just hear the love in Ed Sheeran’s voice. I’m melting.
Song: This Love
Artist: Maroon 5
Genre: Pop
My Thoughts: This song is a total classic. Any old classic Maroon 5 song is amazing and makes me want to sing in the car.
I hope you enjoyed me and my friends’ mini playlists! Let me know what songs you like and what songs you would add to your own mini playlist! Thanks for reading!!
