SPICE THINGS UP

I’m always surrounded by music, I crank songs in the car & sing to bangers in the shower. Yet I sometimes find that my music playlist lose their spark. If this has happened to you & you’ve started to constantly skip songs on your playlist, DON’T WORRY! Here is a couple of my tips on how to freshen up your playlists.

1.  Explore old music. Music is always changing & evolving which is new & exciting yet don’t forget about the old music because it’s still gold.

2.  Don’t limit yourself to a certain genre. My favorite genre is alternative indie pop, yet I still find songs from hip-hop or rock genres that I love. There are SO many types of genres, as well as different combinations of genres so expand your playlist with different genres, you’ll be surprised at what you discover. A trick on how to do this to listen to your friends music, there playlist will be different to yours, exposing you to new songs.

3. Alternatively, you might like to stick to what you know. Now, this is completely opposite to point 2 but if you already know the music you like then build on that. Apps like YouTube & Spotify recommend similar artists or songs to what you like so you can use this tool to also grow your song list.

4. Have a theme or mood to label your playlist. With all these different songs you’ll find, categories them. Maybe I’m just OCD but I find it helpful to structure my songs into a playlist called “Monday morning” or “workout” or “dance party”- although these ideas are lame so be more creative than me.
