Personally, I'm always looking for new songs to listen to and I love getting recommendations from friends. So, I thought I'd give a short list of my absolute favorite chill songs from 2018 to listen to so you can start ~relaxing~.
Drive by Gemineyes
When I first listened to this song, I knew that the voice was familiar. Come to find out it was no other than gnash! Gemineyes consists of Harry Hudson and gnash, and this song is the epitome of vibes. I listened to this when I got my migraines and it helped immensely. Fun fact--this was my most listened to song of 2018!
Pink Skies by LANY
While I will admit that I found LANY towards the end of the year, I have been listening to this song religiously. Paul Klein is truly an angel.
Better by Khalid
I adore everything about Khalid. I adore everything about this song. Enough said.
XO by Beyoncé
This is one of those songs that came up on shuffle and me and my roommates have been listening to it nonstop ever since. It's definitely a classic chill song for me and always makes me feel like I'm in a dream.
Chasing Fire by Lauv
Lauv was my most listened to artist of 2018! I absolutely love his songs--the beats are always super catchy and his songs are on the more vulnerable side in today's pop genre. If you only know I Like Me Better by Lauv, I would really recommend seeking out some of his other songs like this one.
Oceans Away by Arizona
You know those songs you listen to on the plane when looking out the window and thinking about life? This is one of those songs. I think this will probably not only be one of my favorite chill songs of 2018, but for life--it's that good.
Why iii Love The Moon. by Phony Ppl
I'm hoping this is one a lot of people haven't heard. This song is interesting because it has a catchy beat but conveys a message that you don't hear that often in songs.
Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish
My roommates adore Billie Eilish but I've personally never been able to get into her songs. This song, however, is so good in that Billie has a strength yet softness to her voice and it also shows her range. Beautiful song.
I hope you give these songs a listen and enjoy them as much as I did. Happy New Year!
