| Old Man Winter and a DiscoBrant of a certain age... |
Our last playlist of the year! After the non-stop festivities of Halloween month and the indulgent deliciousness of Thanksgiving, it's nice to have some down time. In that spirit, I found myself steering towards mellow Americana and easygoing electronica. Lest I incur the wrath of the War-On-Christmas police, I also threw in a couple of seasonal ditties as a nod to the winter holidays. Hope you enjoy! To listen on Spotify, click HERE.
1. Snowshoes (Caamp) - A little seasonal song to get us going!
2. Diamond Wave (Ron Sexsmith) - Canadian artist and a former Juno Songwriter of the Year keeps the easy vibes going with his latest offering.
3. Undo the Blue (Iraina Mancini) - Some lush, 60s-styled psychedelia from young British vocalist.
4. Christmas Train (Brett Dennen) - A little Christmas music goes a long way for me, but this one handily flies under the radar without being too cloying!
5. Sugar (Remi Wolf) - Breezy West Coast pop from former American Idol contestant.
6. If Love Is All It Takes (Glassio) - My 2022 Spotify Wrapped reminded me how much I like this guy and his self-described "melancholy disco"!
7. Only Ones (Art d'Ecco) - The latest from British Columbian Glam rocker.
8. Let Me See Your Phone (DRAM) - We had him on our June 2017 playlist, and now he's back with more new-school R&B stylings!
9. Find a Way (Phillip-Michael Scales) - This is from 2020, but I heard it online somewhere and liked it. I'll be keeping an eye on this new Indie rocker.
10. Holy Water Hangover (Butch Walker) - Obviously I can't get enough of the new Butch Walker album!
11. Temporary Home (Chatham Rabbits) - My friend Andrea took me to their show last month, and I am now a fan! Catch them if they come through your town. Home-spun folk to get your toes tappin'!
12. Why (Fleetwood Mac) - It was heartbreaking to learn that Christine McVie passed away. This isn't one of her bigger hits, but it's been a personal fave of mine for years. RIP
13. Under the Light (Airpark feat. St. Lucia) - Summery grooves to warm your bones on these cold winter nights!
14. Lonely (Koffee) - A little reggae from Jamaican Grammy winner to prolong our aural island excursion.
15. Warm In December (Samara Joy) - One last seasonal ditty for good measure!
16. Lifetime (SG Lewis) - Danceable beats and backup choir are a delightful recipe to include on your holiday cocktail party playlist.
17. Who Do You Love (ARTY feat. Rozzi) - Did someone say "danceable"??? This newest anthem from Russian DJ is simply begging for some lasers and mirror balls!
18. Keep Away (Carly Rae Jepsen) - Uncharacteristically mellow CRJ, but I'm digging it!
19. Bigger Than the Whole Sky (Taylor Swift) - This was a bonus track on Taylor's latest, and it just seemed like a perfect chill-out song for sitting by a window and watching the snow fall (assuming at some point there IS snow!).
So that's December's playlist - our last of the year! Wishing everyone a great month, and hopefully we can get together again in the New Year!
