What I'm Listening To | August

Each month I'll share five songs I'm been loving all month and hopefully you'll find a song or two (or all of them!) to love as well.

Just press play to listen to all the songs!

Waste My Time - Grace VanderWaal | I'm so used to her ukulele songs that I was surprised to hear this! It's a different sound but I'm loving it. It's super catchy and it's been my go-to song whenever I listen to music this month.

bad guy - Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber | I have to admit, I'm not really on the Billie Eilish train (or Justin Bieber's for that matter) but when I heard this song? Wow. I love the beat and they play off each other so well.

Softly - Clairo | Thank you Spotify and Maggie Rogers for putting Clairo on my radar. I first heard Softly but then Maggie shared a story saying that she'd been listening to the album on repeat all morning. I decided to give it a listen and ended up playing the entire thing straight through, multiple times. So good!

Ready - Alessia Cara | I love this song now as an adult but college-me or even "new adult" me would've latched onto the lyrics of this one. ("I wanna climb into your mind and turn on all the lights / Read all your secrets, see if you wonder about mine / We're just kids tryna' to understand the world / You're still a only a boy, you're scared of a good girl")

Likes - Yuna, KYLE | I've always admired how Yuna has does her own thing in music, never conforming to what's considered mainstream at the time. But I also just enjoy her honest lyrics. I almost always have a song of hers on repeat these days and this is the latest one.
