The Beginning of 2016 In Terms of Music
1. Worlds On Fire: Zerbin
This song is so fun. It makes me want to dance. (Also, it reminds me of that one movie LOL with Miley Cyrus where her best friend--and true love, obviously--was in a band and this song sounds like music he played.) The lyrics are pretty good and the tune is catchy. This is a must-listen.

2. Figure Me Out: The Summer Set
This song is so fucking good. The lyrics are some of the best I ever heard and I lowkey want to get all of them tattooed on my body. Like who still needs to figure themselves out? Everybody, right? And that's what this song is: a song for everybody. It's so raw and amazing and I just love it, wow. The song has so good beat drops and some piano solos and like pretty much everything in between. The Summer Set just released an album and it's so fucking good, and their will be a post on it very soon! The music video for Figure Me Out is awesome and you all should definitely check it out.

3. Discover Weekly Playlists
This isn't a song, artist or album, but it's worth talking about. Spotify (if you don't have an account, you can sign up for free here) creates playlists every week on Monday tailored directly to your taste. It mainly bases it on what you listened to the week before and what artists/bands/songs you listen to the most out of all time. My songs almost always fits my taste, and it's a great way to discover new music!

4. HOT: POWERS
This song is what I play when I need to be in a better mood. This song is kind of 70s inspired (which who doesn't want to be a part of the 70s), and it's fantastic. This song is so catchy and so upbeat and fun it's hard not to dance and to not find yourself singing it in your head in class.

5. Paris: Magic Man
Oh my. This song is so good. This is one of the songs that you play really loud on a night in August with your windows down driving down the freeway. This song is the song you play at 2 am in your best friend's basement when you're getting into trouble. This song is the song you play when you're sad and you need to be happy. This song is the song you play at at time at all. Seriously.

6. You Are Not Alone (Live At The Greek): Walk The Moon
Okay, so the thing about this album is that it's going to be different for every person. Some people really don't like live albums. I used to be one of those people, but I've changed. The best feeling in the world is when you can play a live version of a song that you heard in concert and you can feel how you felt when they played it however long ago right in front of your eyes. This album can do that and it does that for me. I don't know if everyone will respond the same way, but give it a shot.

7. Your Type (Young Bombs Remix): Carly Rae Jepsen
Can we talk about relatable? Because that's what this song is. I'm usually not a big fan of remixes, but this is the first version of the song I heard and I just can't seem to not listen to it anymore. This song is so good. The beat is good, the lyrics are good, the singing is good. What's not to love?

8. Catch: Allie X
I think Allie X is amazing. Her songs are so upbeat and happy and make you want to dance, but her lyrics are very dark and raw. It's a cool thing to make a song sound so different (in a good way) from the lyrics. I think this song is my favorite of hers, so go check it out!

9. Running With the Wolves: AURORA
This song is so good. The lyrics are good, the beat is good, the vibes are good. It is literally so good. I don't even have words. Like, seriously. Just go listen.

10. The Maine
So, by now, I'm thinking that you guys know about my obsession with these dudes. Like, it's real. Lately, I've just been listening to them even more than I usually do. I went through a couple of weeks where I just didn't have a lot of stuff I wanted to listen to, and these guys are my go-to, so they got a lot more play time. Recently, I've been obsessed with Vanilla and Whoever She Is.
