5 Songs To Add To Your January Playlist

New year, new playlist.

5 Songs To Add To Your January Playlist

New year, new me? To be honest, probably not. All those New Year’s Resolutions will most likely remain half-fulfilled, if fulfilled at all (props to those who continue going to the gym even after the end of January). But, breaking those ambitious, yet unrealistic promises requires a soundtrack as well. Here are a few noted additions.

1. Florence + the Machine, “You’ve Got The Love”


A cover of the Candi Staton song of the same name, “You’ve Got The Love” is given an indie rock makeover by Florence + the Machine on their first album “Lungs.” Maybe not rave material, but you can surely jam to it alone in your room with your headphones on.

Recommended if you like: beige gowns, glistening forests, astronomy.

2. Ed Sheeran, “Tenerife Sea”


Here’s one sign 2017 will be a thousand times better than 2016: Ed Sheeran is releasing new music Friday, January 6! Until then, you can retreat to his two previous albums, “+” and “x,” particularly the lyrical, romantically charged “Tenerife Sea.”

Recommended if you like: white cliffs, yachts sailing on camel ink, empty ballrooms.

3. Jhene Aiko, “Wading”


Aiko’s album Souled Out isn’t meant to be blasted by nightclub speakers -- it’s an album that requires a party of one to introspect. You know Aiko is an R&B genius when she can paint a man’s worst nightmare in the form of a dreamy song.

Recommended if you like: sea salt, blank canvases, beach waves.

4. Chance the Rapper, “All We Got (ft. Kanye West and Chicago Children’s Choir)”


Repeat after me: “Coloring Book” is one of the Best. Works. Of. Music. Of. 2016. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. After you listen to “No Problem,” arguably the most popular song off the mixtape, check out Chance’s collab with Yeezy and the Chicago Children’s Choir, both a testament to how rooted the rapper is to his hometown.

Recommended if you like: checkered floors, gospel choirs, brass trumpets.

5. Erik Hassle, “No Words”


You all know how much I love Swedish music artists, and Erik Hassle is no exception. There’s a reason Taylor Swift name-dropped “No Words” as one of her favorite songs by emerging artists. “No Words” will make you feel like you’re dancing and crying at the same time.

Recommended if you like: Scandinavian discotheques, finger snaps, the color silver.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
