Okay, so I'm sure you've heard of the music app Pandora, and all the wonders that come along with it. If you have not, here is a quick overview. Pandora is a free music app that lets you create stations tailored to your favorite genre, artist or even era! Cool, right?
So with this, I decided I wanted to share a few of my favorite stations, different genres and all that jazz (No pun intended). This may have been the hardest choice I have ever had to make because I'm obsessed with music, and don't necessarily have a favorite genre. I shortened my list of 13 beautifully crafted stations to the 5 I usually listen to once or twice a week.
1. 2000's R&B Radio.
Basic millennial, I know, but this is by far one of my favorite stations to jam out to. Whether it be cleaning, doing homework, or kickback music, this station has all the music I grew up on; from What's Luv by Fat Joe to I'm N Luv by T-Pain (Great job censoring us, Mom). Listening to this station always brings back so many memories.
2. Summer Hits of the 90's Radio.
This station has so many classic artists and bands, from Red Hot Chili Peppers to Coldplay to Green Day, it's like the 90's never left. This is my go to station when I'm getting ready to go out because not only does it pump me up for the night ahead, but singing Waiting On The World To Change never seems more passionate than when I'm picking out my outfit for the night. Thank you, John Mayer.
3. 90's Alternative Radio.
Every time I come across this station, I remember screaming the lyrics to Blink-182's Adam's Song trying to impress my older cousins, and now these bands are some of my favorites. So many good bands populate this station; Third Eye Blind, Pearl Jam, Weezer, even Sublime. I know, I know, Sublime? Don't judge me. All in all this is definitely a great station.
4. 60's, 70's and 80's Hits Radio.
Yes, I know, I am old, but who can resist some Queen? Or Marvin Gaye? So many of the songs on this station are classics, and brighten my mood immediately, even when I'm Under Pressure (Get it?) This station has so much soul, you can't help but sing along to legends like Stevie Wonder and Ben E. King.
5. Today's Country Radio.
My basic white girl has finally emerged. Yes, I love country music. I think this station captures all of the best artists/bands that fall within the Pop Country genre. I am such a sucker for love, especially the cheesy kind! This station satisfies all the hopeless romantic parts of me. Sam Hunt, Brett Young, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line? Don't mind if I do!
All in all, music to me is just about how a song makes you feel. I'm crazy about music with soul, with purpose and with passion. I am always looking for new music, so please send some my way! I hope you enjoyed my quick synopsis of each station, make sure to give them a listen!
Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours.
