These are the songs I've been digging the past month.
Dancing Shoes- Cherub
I discovered this electro-indie duo last Fall with their single "Doses and Mimosas", and fell in love with them when I saw them live in the Spring. Their latest release, "Dancing Shoes" instantly became one of my favorited by them. A true bop.
Girls Like You- Maroon 5
Maroon 5. Need I say more? Since "Sunday Morning" and "She Will Be Loved", I've loved this group. Unpopular opinion: I'm not the biggest Cardi B fan, but I do like her feature on this song.
Sunflower Seeds- Bryce Vine
Sunflower seeds is a song from 2016, shown to me by my 14 year old brother. As soon as I heard the opening chorus, I was hooked. It's really just a feel good rap jam, and Vine's voice is so soothing.
Funeral- Lukas Graham
Funeral, another song from 2016 (a little late to the game with these last two) is a song my brother and sister have been playing around the house for about a year, and I finally hopped on the family band wagon. This pop/soul band gives you definite windows-down-wolume-up-screaming-the-lyrics vibes.
The Mountain- Dierks Bently
While this isn't my favorite song of this playlist, I can't resist Dierks Bently. In this song and his other recent single, "Woman, Amen" he seems to be experimenting with a new sound, and I'm excited to delve into his entire new album.
Reason To Drink- Cole Swindell
Another long-time favorite: Cole Swindell. This song honestly just makes me smile. Cole just makes you feel good. Check it out.
Back To You- Selena Gomez
"Took you like a shot, thought I could chase you with a cold evening, let a couple years water down how I'm feeling about you."
"I've got to convince myself I don't want it even though I do."
"You could break my heart in two, but when it heals it beats for you."
Just a couple of the lyrics that had me yelling "YESSSS girl" back at the radio the first time I heard this new Selena song.
Drunk Me- Mitchell Tenpenny
Mitchell Tenpenny is sn artist that's new to me, but this song has me quickly infatuated with him. The chorus says, "'Baby can you come over?' I always find those words at the bottom of a hundred proof," and I think that's something we've all felt.
Dig Your Roots- Florida Georgia Line
I've always had mixed feelings about Florida Georgia Line. Some of their songs I find myself singing along to, and some I find myself skipping every time, but this one I really like. It's just a beat you can jam and sing along to.
Dan + Shay- Dan + Shay
Previewed in my last playlist article, Dan + Shay's self titled album did nothing less than blow me away. I can't get enough of it. I would list my favorite songs, but I can't even pick. Please do yourself a favor and check it out.
These Days- Rudimental
Rounding out my June 2018 playlist is "These Days". I've been in love with Macklemore since middle school, so anything his name is on is worth listening to (for me). I had never heard of rudimental before my little brother showed me this song, but I really like their sound.
