10 Songs Getting Me Through the Week
Vol. 3
1. Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better)
Artist: Felix Jaehn [feat. Jasmin Thompson]
A remix of the original song by Chaka Khan, which I love, Felix Jaehn and Jasmin Thompson rework it in the most soft and melodic way possible.
2. Issues
Artist: Dr. Dre [feat. Ice Cube, Anderson .Paak & Dem Jointz]
This is one of my favorite songs off of Dr. Dre's "Compton." I press replay on this one at least 4 times.
3. Melody
Artist: Oliver Helens
This little House number ropes you in with an anticipatory violin piece and then drops you into the beat with no further ado.
4. Waste Your Time
Artist: Arty [Clarence Coffee Jr.]
This one has me belting out the window every tim; Clarence Coffee Jr. has a voice that just kinda makes you want to sing, and sing loud.
5. Fiesta (Remix)
Artist: Bomba Estereo & Will Smith
Gym time for me when this one's on. I wanna dance, run on the treadmill and squat like there's no tomorrow. Add to the beat the rap stylings of Will Smith and you've got me set.
6. Damien
Artist: Modestep [feat. Funtcase]
This is some sinister sh*t. Honestly, I love me some Modestep and always have, so when they released a new album in 2015 with this song on it I about passed out. You want some evil, dirty beats? Bump this.
7. Hide Me Babe
Artist: Garrett Hedlund
I'm going Country on you again, because honestly its just necessary. This track is from the soundtrack to the movie Country Strong. I love Garrett Hedlund's voice; its deep and calming rhythm in this is like an adult rock-a-bye-baby.
8. Night Riders
Artist: Major Lazor [feat. Travi$ Scott, 2 Chainz, Pusha T & Mad Cobra]
I feel like such a badass when this track is on when I know I'm actually the complete and utter opposite. Walking through the gym feeling like a G.
9. Runaway
Artist: Aurora
If you don't know this artist you really have to; her album art alone makes you think of Narnia or some enchanted forest. Then her otherworldly voice comes in and just takes you to another world.
10. Crazy In Love (2014 Remix)
Artist: Beyonce [From the "Fifty Shades of Grey" Soundtrack
I read the book, I saw the movie and I love Beyonce. These three things combined make for a very happy Neda.
