Hey Hey! I don't know about you all but during this pandemic I've had to pull out all the stops to deal with the many emotions that have come up over the last year. With the stay at home order in place and working from home, my days can get pretty redundant. It's such a change from the “normal” we are used to so it's easy to feel overwhelmed. I’ve also found at times the coping skills I usually turn to may not be accessible or even as effective as they used to be. COVID-19 has taken over the news, social media and every aspect of our lives in some way, shape or form. It has been A LOT. One thing that has helped calm my fluctuating anxiety is music. It has definitely been my solace and peace in these trying times. No matter the time of day I can find something to listen to that fits my mood. Here are a few of my favorite playlists that have helped keep me balanced over the last year:
Pretty much anything from chillhop is a go for me. I typically listen to this whenever I need to focus and concentrate. I used to be a person who needed to study or work in silence but now I find that I enjoy not only good background music, but good instrumental music. What I love about chillhop is its' blend of Dub/Reggae, Chillout, Hip Hop, and Jazz. If you love lofi hip hop and chill beats, then this is for you.
If you know you know! Soulection is definitely that girl! I listen to new soulection radio releases as well as older releases because there is always a favorite. Soulection has been around for nine years and they never disappoint.
I mean do I honestly need to say anymore?! I really could not make this list without including her. Jhene is a WHOLE VIBE. Her most recent project “Chilombo” is amazing but you could listen to her older projects and be equally blown away because they have aged very well!
Livestreams
With the need for social distancing celebs have gotten creative with being able to connect with their fans. While in quarantine I've tuned into many Verzuz livestreams on IG as well as some livestreams on Youtube. I've also loved tuning into DJ D-Nice's dance parties. These are all a way to make your time inside more bearable and exciting.
Share below some of the music selections that you've been enjoying lately!
