There is very little that makes me happier than laying on my bed, or driving around in my car and blasting music. There's something about jamming out by yourself and truly vibing to the music that just puts me in the best mood. This month it seems like I've discovered a variety of new-to-me artists who have been my go-tos whenever I'm in the mood to put in my headphones and zone out, whether it be while browsing Tumblr or working out. Here are my top music picks for August.
Mod Sun.
Mod Sun's music is a mix of rap, beachy tunes, and indie pop. He's a solid choice for backyard barbecues and driving along long roads by the ocean. Check out "Howlin' At the Moon" from his album Look Up.
Ta-Ku.
Ta-Ku has quickly become my zone out artist. His music, made up of mostly instrumentals with few vocals, is perfect for studying or when you just need to get crap done. done. Look up "Sunrise / Beautiful" next time you find yourself browsing Spotify for a chill station.
N.W.A.
Okay, okay, I know N.W.A. is not by any means new music. But last week my family saw "Straight Outta Compton" and ever since then I have not gone a day without listening to them, Ice Cube, or Dr. Dre. Their music is just so classic and prime workout music. My personal favorite from their original album is "If It Ain't Ruff."
There are also an array of single songs that I've been loving this month, including "Coffee" by Miguel and "The Hills" by The Weeknd. Head over to Spotify to check out this month's playlist and hear some stuff from the artists mentioned above!
