November’s New Music Playlist

Welcome back to my new music column. I will admit, this playlist is mostly emo tunes and Spanish pop. A weird mix, but I think it works! I hope you do too!

1. “Dose” by Ciara

Keila Lau-Lopez showed me this song a few weeks back, and it has been on repeat ever since. The drumline in this is amazing, and the beat is a bop.

2. “Baby” by Clean Bandit feat. Marina and the Diamonds and Luis Fonsi

Marina is one of my favorite artists, and this song did not disappoint. We’ve all been waiting for new music from her, and we all were so excited by this. It’s a tune.

3. “Natural” by Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons is a band that always produces good music, and this new album is no different! This is the opening track, but be sure to check out the whole album.

4. “Flex” by Just Friends

I went to see Mom Jeans. (featured on the last playlist) this past weekend and fell in love with this band who opened for them. They feature two trombones and a trumpet, enjoy!

5. “Someone I Used To Know” by Zac Brown Band

Zac Brown Band is one of my favorite bands ever, and, so of course, I had to include their new song. Their musicianship is truly amazing.

6. “In the Hot Hot Rays” by Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes is weird and fun and so is this song. It’s a cool and unique song that I highly recommend.

7. “Late Bloomer” by Graduating Life

This is a guy from Mom Jeans. and a great new find! It’s emo but still worth listening to- I promise.

8. “Blu” by Jon Bellion

Jon Bellion always produces great car dance songs, and this song definitely falls into that category. Add this to your list of bops.

9. “That’s How People Die” by Retirement Party

This was another opener at the Mom Jeans. concert and another great surprise. A very fun and quirky little band that is emo but great.

10. “thank u, next” by Ariana Grande

I would be a fool not to put this song on here! This song is already iconic.

11. “Of Alaska” by Cameron Boucher

I was a band kid my entire life and played the clarinet, so any song with a good clarinet gets me. This song has great clarinet, so it really gets me.

12. “Broadripple Is Burning” by Margot & The Nuclear So And So’s

I just learned of this band on the way to see Mom Jeans., and learned that they originally sang this song! Most people have heard covers of this, but I want to make sure y’all have also heard the original.

13. “Just Hold On” by Steve Aoki and Louis Tomlinson

As a former One Direction super fan, I had to include this. A very fun little bop.

14. “Rules” by Nat & Alex Wolff

I learned recently how many people don’t know that Nat and Alex Wolff (from Naked Brothers Band) still make music! And it’s awesome!

15. “Clementine” by McCafferty

The Front Bottoms is one of my favorite bands; my boyfriend showed me this band because their lead singer sounds just like the lead singer of The Front Bottoms. And they rock.

16. “Adictiva” by Daddy Yankee and Anuel Aa

I worked in a pizza shop all of high school; the cooks at the restaurant all loved Spanish music and got me into Daddy Yankee, so I was so excited when I saw he had a new song. I personally don’t know what he’s saying, but it’s a tune.

17. “Noble Gas” by Steve Aoki and Bill Nye

A song with Bill Nye?? Enough said.
