As students become swamped with classes and coursework, it
is important to keep up with ways to de-stress. Luckily, music is a way to
escape from everyday troubles and is readily available.
New
music is continually being released. To keep students up to date as well as
bring back some oldies-but-goldies, I've compiled a Spotify playlist to start
this semester off right:
1. “Multi-Love” by Unknown Mortal
Orchestra
The first song off of Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s latest album, Multi-Love draws listeners in right away with its blend of synth, bass and drums.

4. “Pity Party” by Melanie Martinez
Sampling an old tune, “It's My Party” by Leslie Gore, Martinez gives the old a new electronic twist.

At only 20 years old, Halsey has already shown the world the potential she has. "New Americana" is an anthem for our generation.
