Happy 4th, everyone!! Here’s a playlist of my favorite songs for you to throw on shuffle during your holiday weekend!

While definitely not as tricky as creating my year-end list–it was hard to keep it to 50–this has been a really strong year and there are a bunch of big releases still coming.

But I narrowed it down as best as I could–and as quickly as I could–to get this to you for the 4th.

Additionally–here are 15 albums I’ve had on repeat all year. I keep a playlist on Spotify called “2019 Favorite Albums.” Are you on Spotify? Why not follow that playlist and check in on it throughout the year? Do it…

Helado Negro: This is How You Smile

James Blake: Assume Form

Tyler, The Creator: Igor

Sharon Van Etten: Remind Me Tomorrow

Girlpool: What Chaos is Imaginary

Billie Eilish: When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

Anderson.Paak: Oxnard and Venutra (a bit of a cheat but i listen to them together a lot)

Angelo de Augustine: Tomb

Better Oblivion Community Center: self-titled

Jenny Lewis: On the Line

Nilüfer Yanya: Miss Universe

Local Natives: Violet Street

Solange: When I Get Home

Carly Rae Jepsen: Dedicated

Kehlani: While We Wait

Speaking of playlists–did you read Jess’ ghost story last week? Damn. Still thinking about it–why does everyone have that one person who makes random appearances at random times? Crazy.

There you go! Lots of new music for you to enjoy! What have you been into this year? Are you on Spotify? Do you want these playlist on other platforms like YouTube? Let me know below!
