Monthly Mixtape – July 2020
Crashing – ILLENIUM feat. Bahari
https://open.spotify.com/track/17Efhyf4A96n0EFXKeB7Ya?si=szReqH1QSEO1aeakadSXjQ
This tune is a chilled-out version of EDM, with romantic lyrics and a dreamy, magical feel. It's one of the songs this month I haven't been able to stop playing over again!
if this is the last time – LANY
https://open.spotify.com/track/2ccNaerby1wXA993dY6XsR?si=kP9EzZXvQD2DKGyFv8le7Q
LANY's newest single is a heartfelt ballad to mom and dad, apologizing for past fights and reminiscing on everything parents do for their kids.
Girlfriend – Charlie Puth
https://open.spotify.com/track/1UNs8AlFM8c0uAkSyjIW3P?si=l9VBNouRQHS9ehEexDxzTw
Charlie Puth never disappoints, with another groovy synth track, catchy falsetto melodies, and stacked harmonies for days.
Rabbit Hole – Lauren Cimorelli
https://open.spotify.com/track/0KKXdZis3OVWPbaESArQDw?si=ZIO2XloLR0K8wbkMyMWuiA
Lauren is back with more solo music, and she just amazes me with her creativity and inventiveness every time. She described this song as an attempt to capture the chaos of a tumultuous romance, with several key changes and tempo switch-ups.
As I'll Ever Be – Chaz Cardigan
https://open.spotify.com/track/5I2lEwnYNP2xCELWSMRMe4?si=SJQWns-CQluAmhWI8XN5rw
This is probably my #1 favorite musical discovery from this month. It's from the soundtrack to the Netflix movie To All The Boys I've Loved Before: P.S. I Still Love You – the entire soundtrack is amazing, I made a whole post about it here! This song sounds like it belongs in an 80's prom scene during a slow dance, and I'm obsessed. I wouldn't be surprised if this made it onto my wedding playlist in the future.
Falling – Harry Styles
https://open.spotify.com/track/1ZMiCix7XSAbfAJlEZWMCp?si=AzJv-eg7QRqgMsv1GS9Oaw
I knew Harry Styles was a talented singer and wrote some pretty good songs, but I didn't know he was THIS GOOD. This is an emotional ballad with some incredible melodies, and his vocals are just stellar (as always).
Daydream – The Aces
https://open.spotify.com/track/778JDHI6qfgQ1HBEKP1FZu?si=4XRi_rG-SpWitIpRC7zPCA
I can't believe I still haven't listened to this band before; they've been on my radar for quite a while, and I'll definitely be adding more of this cool girl group's music to my playlists in the future.
Better By Myself – Hey Violet
https://open.spotify.com/track/77ixMBo91onYG37mAZiaUj?si=G5lV3Vx4Q6q1Lde_gEzOfQ
I sing sassy breakup songs way too aggressively for someone in a happy long-term relationship. What can I say, it's a banger.
Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi (Acoustic Cover) – Cimorelli
https://open.spotify.com/track/6UlklkZnqLbht6CdVVvkfG?si=Tw1IU0TzRaeuT2Q5-wJsjA
This is an emotional and beautiful cover of this vulnerable song about losing someone to suicide. I honestly didn't like this song after hearing the original version on the radio WAY too many times, but the girls have a funny way of making me enjoy literally any song by putting their own spin on it.
10 AM – State Champs
https://open.spotify.com/track/5X5tLJ6jZhuR1Mt325Hn8s?si=C7dqxVaCSPydJiWo1vZpBQ
State Champs' acoustic music is severely underrated, and I'm so glad they're releasing a fully acoustic EP and giving us the chill songs we want!
