Happy spring…right? While most of us probably don’t have access to an outdoor space, I hope you’re able to find some sort of outdoor time (alone, of course) to enjoy my Spring 2020 playlist. As always, this playlist will be updated continuously, and you can see it at its most up-to-date on Spotify. I’ll update this post occasionally to reflect the changes.
A new workout playlist is HERE and I’m amped. A few people have asked me to share this playlist recently and it took me a while to actually make a separate playlist solely of songs from this genre, but once I started, it was easy to keep adding songs!
Welcome to the winter! I hope you find a way to deal with seasonal depression better than I do. Below is the start of my winter playlist. You can follow it on Spotify here.
Every artist who has an asterisk next to their name means they have shows coming up at some point in Chicago. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

It’s honestly so weird and terrifying to think that another year is coming to a close. It feels like just yesterday I was crafting the list of my favorite songs of 2018. While I do think that last year had better music overall, this year has shaped up to be an interesting one in terms of what is going to end up on my favorite album list (I have 19 solidified as of now, but I’m still working out the order). Last year I ordered my top 10 favorite songs, this year I wanted to make it a bit longer, so it’s at 25 right now. I’ve been listening to this playlist in its entirety nonstop, and so many of these tracks could have been included in the top 25. It’s also really tricky to make these sorts of lists when songs come out towards the end of the year compared to January or February, as it gets harder to figure out if you like a song more because you’ve known had more time to sit with it, etc. I digress.
Here we go!

Check out my favorite songs from 2015-2018 here, here, here and here.
Did your favorite song make the list?
It’s my favorite time of year for music! There’s something so special about crafting playlists specifically for this time of year and I’m super excited to share the start of my Fall Playlist.
I always try to make my posts relevant in more ways than one – so for this one, each artist featured with an asterisk * means they have a show coming up in Chicago. This post will continue to be updated as I add more music to the playlist.
Welcome to summer, finally! It’s been long time coming in Chicago, we’re barely at 70 degree days but that means we appreciate them even more when they’re here.
I love creating playlists for the seasons as my mood for what I want to listen to always changes during the different times of the year. This one will definitely continue to grow as more music comes out and this is just the start!
It’s finally warming up in Chicago and although I have a ton of stuff cooking for the blog coming up in the next couple weeks, but I wanted to get this playlist post up because we all know how much I love starting new seasonal playlists.
This one is at 55 songs at the moment and will continue to grow. To make it more relevant for my readers, I wanted to go ahead and make a note of which of these artists have shows coming up in Chicago. And I bet in just 24 hours more of these artists will have upcoming shows since the Lollapalooza lineup will be out so soon!
