Music can speak to anyone. And, music can move anyone's soul. Every time period, every genre, and every artist is unique and has something to contribute to the music community. Music can change or heighten a mood for anyone. We are all guilty of listening to a playlist of sad songs after a break up or after a rough time.
Something I love to do is to search out new songs. I don't listen to the radio much, so I take matters into my own hands. Granted, not all of the music I find is necessarily "new", becomes the next radio favorite, or even makes it to the radio. But, that doesn't change the fact that I found a song I love and connect with.
Below is a list of songs that I found and are currently some of my favorites. The songs below are fun and have a great beat, in my humble opinion, of course. These songs may or may not be on the radio, and you may or may not have heard them before. I would also add that some of these songs may contain explicit content. I tried to label all the songs that do, but proceed with caution. Enjoy!
Yoga by Janelle Monae and Jidenna This song is currently my main jam. It has such a good beat. And, I have yet to hear a song by Janelle Monae I don't like.
Like I'm Gonna Lose You feat. John Legend by Meghan Trainor I really like the sound of this song, and every song with John Legend is almost always better. Meghan Trainor is not one of my favorite artists. She sings well, but her songs are over played. I'm afraid if I heard this song too many times, I would become tired of it like all of her other songs.
Here by Alessia Cara I love this song because I can totally relate to the lyrics. I am the mirror image of this song.
The Hills by The Weeknd (Explicit) The beat and his play on words in this song is unique and on point, which is a lot like his hair.
Often by The Weeknd (Explicit) This song has a good tempo and is very chill. But, let's face it. The Weeknd is the champ at creating great beats.
How Deep Is Your Love by Calvin Harris Yet again, this track has great rhythm and would be a fun one to try to dance to.
Fire N Gold by Bea Miller My favorite part is the chorus. I didn't care for the music video because she kept making the same face, and it became over done and annoying. But, overall it's a good song.
Phenominal by Eminem (Explicit) Again, I really like the chorus of this song. I am not a big Eminem fan, but I do have a great deal of respect for him and how far he has come.
Kings Never Die feat. Gwen Stefani by Eminem (Explicit) The combination of Gwen Stefani and Eminem was a job well done, and turned out much better than I expected.
Black Magic by Little Mix This song is fun and hard not to like. Listening to this song takes me back to the days of my awkward phase. Great times.
This Could Be Us by Rae Sremunrd (Explicit) These guys have done it yet again. The song is great and is a fun jam.
Beast feat. Busta Rhymes by Rob Bailey (Explicit) This song isn't like anything I've heard before. It's an interesting mix of rap and hard rock. I'm usually much of a fan of hard rock, but the two combined is different and done well. The sound track for Southpaw has some great songs.
R.I.C.O. feat. Drake by Meek Mill (Explicit) In spite of the blowout between Meek Mill and Drake, these two did a good job on this one.
All Eyes On You feat. Chris Brown & Nicki Minaj by Mill (Explicit) Despite my feelings about Chris Brown, I can't deny the fact that he has a great voice. This song has a great beat that hits hard, yet has a chill vibe.
Cecilia & The Satellite by Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness I absolutely love this song! It's new, it's different, and the music video is how I envision myself to be.
Sippy Cup-- Melanie Martinez (Explicit) I love this song. It's new and fresh.
Beautiful Now feat. Jon Bellion--Zedd The beginning didn't catch my attention much, but I started to like the song as it went along.
0 to 100/The Catch Up-- Drake (Explicit) I love the sound of this song and it reminds me a bit of his song Energy. It has a good tempo, but very steady and chill.
Comfortable-- K Camp (Explicit) This track is great and so is the beat.
You Know You Like It-- DJ Snake & Aluna George DJ Snake did a wonderful job fusing his beats with the voice of Aluna George.
Omen feat. Sam Smith-- Disclosure The rhythm of this song takes me back to when I went to New York City. I for one am a fan of Sam Smith and his voice. I also enjoyed watching the music video for this song.
Budapest-- George Ezra I think this track has become a favorite for many. It has a timeless sound and it still never gets old.
