Fave Albums Honeymoon by Lana Del ReyGenre: Indie/AlternativeHoneymoon is a such a gorgeous album, and personally, I think that it exhibits some of Lana's best work. It's awesome to loop when it's rainy and you wanna be depressed in a vintage, classy way. My top faves from the album are definitely all the songs, but for those who want a good snapshot, I'd recommend "Honeymoon", the titular track, "Art Deco", and "The Blackest Day". Super chill stuff! Cry Baby (Deluxe Edition) by Melanie MartinеzGenre: Indie/AltеrnativeCry Baby was Melanie's debut album, and some five years later, I'm still grooving to all the tracks. All of them. I love how creative the lyrics and music videos are, and how songs like "Mrs. Potato Head" tackle very real issues today. My top faves are "Soap", "Cry Baby" (but of course, it's the titular track, for fried egg's sake), and "Play Date", but as always, all the tracks have a special place in my cold, black heart. K-12 (After-School - Deluxe Edition) by Melanie MartinezGenre: Indie/AlternativeI know, I know, this is another album by Melanie, but who said I can't put all of Mel's albums in my list? It's my compendium, so please shut up. Anyway, I fell in love with K-12 right when it dropped last year, and I proceeded to watch (yes, it comes with an awesome film Mel directed herself! Check it out, or I'll menacingly wave a virtual saucepan in your direction) the accompanying K-12 film too many times to count. When I'm not looping the album, my top faves to listen to are "High School Sweethearts", "The Principal", "Recess", "Nurse's Office", and more recently, "The Bakery". You can tell I wanna just say all of the tracks, but I figured you cute barnacles would prefer, and would probably handle better, a few. thank u, next by Ariana GrandeGenre: PopI'm not a die-hard Arianator, but I do root hard for Ari, and thank u, next is one of those albums I loop constantly. My top fave songs are "needy" (because it's so damn relatable and the off-tune xylophone in the background is just gorgeous), "fake smile" (the chorus is just so pretty), and "bad idea" (because it's bad-ass and has an awesome outro). Wake Up, Sunshine by All Time LowGenre: Pop-Punk/Punk RockA pretty recent fave of mine, but boy oh boy, I have fallen hard for this album. All the tracks are super catchy, and the lyrics are amazing. My top faves are "Monsters", "Pretty Venom (Interlude)" (I know, I know, it's an interlude, but who said interludes can't be looped forever?), and "Safe". Demons by Get ScaredGenre: Post-Hardcore/MetalcoreOne of the best albums to loop on Halloween. I just love the creepy Edgar Allen Poe vibe Get Scared has, and Demons really exemplifies that. Warning: jam-packed with scream-vocals and explosive bass. My top faves are "Suffer", "R.I.P.", and "The Devil's in the Details". Ascend by IlleniumGenre: EDM/Future Bass/Melodic DubstepAscend is definitely my top fave EDM album. The instrumentals are beautiful, and the bass drops are so amazing I swear I tear up a little every time I hear them. sniffles Anyway, my faves on this one are "Hold On", "Lonely", and "Gorgeous". Immortalys by Ivan TorrentGenre: Electronic/OrchestralNow this is what I call epic. Ivan Torrent is one of my favorite epic trailer music composers, and Immortalys, his second studio album, is just fantastic. Not only does it come with amazing artwork, but it merges two genres: orchestral and electronic in a really cool, sci-fi, fantasty-esque way. My top fave tracks are "The Edge of Consciousness", "Vis Motrix", and "Khae Momme", but in all actuality, I wanna say all of them. The Very Best Song Recs I Have To OfferAlrighty, if you're one of those people who don't like to listen to a whole bunch of songs from one album, or you're just down for song recs, this section's for you! Sorted by genre, and updated regularly with new songs. Mwah, you're welcome. Pop/Indie/Alternative- "Born to Die" by Lana Del Rey "Born to Die" remains one of my fave songs from Lana, and one of my fave songs of all time. Yes, it's that good. Lana's voice is just so powerful, the instrumentals are sweeping and orchestral, and the lyrics are perfection. Check....it....out. - "Orange Juice" by Melanie Martinez Besides being catchy as hell, "Orange Juice" has a really important message about eating disorders, specifically bulimia. - "BRB" by Bazzi "BRB" is one of my favorite tracks off COSMIC. What can I say, it's cute and it's catchy. - "girls" by girl in red "girls" is that gay anthem all ye closet people are looking for. Super relatable, and Marie's vocals and instrumentals are lovely on this. Rock- "Clumsy" by All Time Low One of my faves from All Time Low - super catchy and very nice to loop while...umm....baking! Of course, it's great for any other activity, but like, this is great for when you're baking lemon bars and you spill a ton of icing sugar across the counter. Just saying. - "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace One of the best songs ever to loop when you're angry. Don't smash your favorite mug. Just take a breath....and listen to this song. - "Sarcasm" by Get Scared Get Scared's most popular song to date, and one of their best. As its title suggests, "Sarcasm" is positively dripping with stone cold sarcasm. Have a listen! - "Every Time You Leave" by I Prevail Really nice track, and one of the gentler songs on TRAUMA. Can I just rave over how nicely Brian and Delaney's voices blend together? Also, Delaney's verse is boo-tiful. EDM- "Crawl Outta Love" by ILLENIUM - "Limitless" by Adventure Club - "To The Stars" by Braken - "Without Me (Nurko & Miles Away Remix)" by Halsey At this point, I'm just too lazy to add descriptions for all of them, but they all have really lovely bass drops and vocals (except "To The Stars", that's instrumental). Song Recs Playlist!If you'd rather see all the recs in a playlist instead of clicking on them individually, I feel ya, and I've made a Spotify playlist for your viewing and listening pleasure. Enjoy! The Most Specific Playlists You'll Ever Hope to FindI have tremendous pleasure at making extremely specific playlists, and too many at that. I figured my mentor ScopeY wouldn't like to be the sole sufferer of seeing these playlists, so I'm sharing the torture with y'all here. Aight, here goes! Hits of the MomentThese aren't specific really, but they're specific in the sense that they're compilations of my current hits of the moment, or the only songs I can stand to listen to right now. - ~lauren's hits of the moment ~ The main hits playlist. The first edition of this playlist goes all the way back to 2015, and it wasn't even on Spotify then, but oh uhh...Deezer. Since 2017, the playlist has migrated to Spotify, where it remains to this day. I switch up the songs every week or so, depending on how long until I get tired of them. The genres on this playlist are EDM (Dubstep, Melodic Dubstep, Drumstep, Trap, Future Bass, House, Electro) and Rock (Alternative, Metalcore, Post-Hardcore). It's kinda funny to watch the chaotic see-saw this playlist is. Some weeks, it's almost entirely EDM, and then other weeks, it's almost entirely Rock, or just teetering in the middle. I also switch up the playlist cover - currently it's a leaf sheep, a tiny sea slug that has the great fortune to look like a cartoon sheep - and I don't think I'll be changing that for now. If you're not into hard-hitting stuff (aww, the leaf sheep's sad), there's still.... - ~ lauren's other hits of the moment ~ Yes, my other hits of the moment. This playlist was born just this year, because I listen to so many genres that I've given up on ever trying to reconcile songs on the same playlist. Also referred to as my chiller hits of the moment, because it covers Pop, Indie/Alternative, and occasionally Rap and Hip Hop. If you're wondering what cute fowl graces the playlist's cover, it's a burrowing owl. COOT! get it? It's COOT, because it's cute, but also 'cause HOOT. Ah nvm, that was dumb. Very Specific PlaylistsThese are my Spotify playlists with a very specific theme, usually based on name. Genre runs completely haywire here, because only clap the clap title clap matters. If you have any songs to add, feel free to leave a suggestion on the page or just shoot me a message. New playlists added...when my dumb brain comes up with an idea. - ~ the picnic ~ Yep! That's right, this is a playlist of all the great songs with very edible titles. A whole musical picnic! - i need me some melatonin All song titles in this playlist have something to do with sleep. Why did I make it? Well, it was somewhere around 4 AM, and my delirious brain decided randomly to make it. Don't question the delirious brain. - b a d My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Anything with "bad" in the title, really. Need I say more? - oops, i think i dropped something CRASH! splinter...splink Yep, anything with a sufficiently shattered title is a match for this playlist! - when they ask you how you are and you say that you're fine but you're not really fine and you just can't get into it Probably concerning, but eh, I'm fine. heh The title's so long on this one, I had to move part of it into the playlist description, but anyway, all songs on this have depressing titles. Yeah, pretty much. - lonely sad boi hours Anything with "lonely" in the title, and yep, lonely gang!
