After all of the drama 2025 has brought to us thus far, I think that we deserve a cool summer break with some hits added to our playlists. I've been on Instagram a lot more this month and had the pleasure of finding so many new artists. Here are a few you might enjoy this summer!


1. High - SALLIE

   I stumbled onto their Instagram page @salliewagg through an ad. Their voice is so beautiful, and their aesthetic is so satisfying. We love unique baddies over here. If you're into emo-casual vibes and blue hair, this band is def perfect for you. I know that I'll be playing this song for the rest of the year. 

2. Waste My Time - Essosa

   This song was all over my feed at one point because the girls and their transitions...!!! Man, y'all are so beautiful, but let's keep the motion going throughout the summer. Can anybody else relate to these lyrics, though? My little summer fling is already out and about, y'all, and this song has brought me so much comfort. Have you made a reel with this song yet? I just might...

3.  The Rush - Janelle Monae

   Honestly, this song has been on my playlist since its release, but I think it's perfect for every summer. If you're ever just sunbathing or chilling by a body of water and want to embrace your goddess, high priestess aura, this is the song for you. It's super sexy and vibey. Tell me what you think of it down below. 

4. WTF MY DRINK @? - Aliyah's Interlude

   For all of my bihs that love to go out every night and drink, add this song to your playlist NOW! To not have this song in your playlist should be an actual crime. Get with it.  

5. CONCENTR888 - Jourdin Pauline ft. BUDDY

I found this song through a funny video on Instagram, and there's that one part that we all love. It's so funny how it became a meme, but this song actually makes me happy. I can't explain it. It's such a vibe for real. Listen to the full song, and you'll get into your bad b**ch energy for sure. Trust!

6. a girl like me - flowerovlove

   I stumbled upon this song through an ad, so I gave it a full listen and did not regret it. She gives dollhouse, Olivia Rodrigo vibes. I can't fully describe it, but it's such a vibe. I throw up heart hands every time this song plays. Get into your whimsy and stream this beauty. 

7. Hater's Anthem - Infinity Song

   Every time I hear this song, I imagine myself riding around in a classic convertible on a hilltop with a side view of the ocean and a sunset, hair blowing in the wind without a care in the world. You may not be into late nights, drinking, and dancing on countertops, but if you need to get away--even if just for a bit-- listen to this song. Go for a walk and take a long drive to nowhere with this song and allow yourself to escape for a little bit. I promise you won't regret it. 

8. Tonight - Pink Pantheress

   This sounds like such a bedroom bop. You know, the music you listen to while you're getting ready for whatever event. I've used this song as a pick-me-up a few times, and it's definitely healing. Get ready in front of your largest mirror, blast this song, and vibe--even do a little dancey-dance if that helps. 

9. Like That! - Laila!

   Now this song fits for any occasion. I can't help but pull out my meanest Shakira belly dance when the chorus plays. It's carefree, fun, and super catchy. Get into it!!!


     These are just a few songs that I've stumbled upon so far, but I'm more than willing to give a longer list. I have song suggestions for days. LOL! If you follow me on Instagram @myiawill, check out the playlist in my bio, and tell me what you think. It's still in the making, but it's one of my favs. If you liked this list, let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading, bestie! :D

MUST Listen to Songs for 2025's Black History Month

Even though we don't have Trump's approval--whatever that means--for the Black History Month celebration, it doesn't mean we can't celebrate it. If you're planning a cool party or want to consciously ensure that your dollars are reaching Black wallets, tune in to my song recommendations (and drop recommendations if you know of anything better).  1. Sticky (feat. GloRilla, Sexyy Red & Lil Wayne) by Tyler, The Creator I discovered this song after running into it numerous times on my Facebook feed. It's a vibe if you're looking for one and offers a wide range of artists and styles. I've played this song at least 20 times this week, and each time I become more enthralled. It's insanely catchy. I highly recommend getting yourself in that energy before school or work...whatever. It's a quick pick-me-up before any occasion.  2. Pink Ma...

Autumn Vibes Playlist

  Pixabay (2025).          Fall, a swift transition from life-threatening heat and sweaty palms to dim-lit breezes, cool grass on your soles, and faint exposure to sunlight. The perfect balance of temperature in the night and day, warm and cool, and the music is just right as we experience nostalgia from the orange-turning leaves. Each crisp leaf that falls onto your shoulder acts as a preview to snowfall. Fall, also a prime season for influenza and seasonal depression, is upon us.            For me, fall is like peak Twilight season. Twilight reruns, daily walks, and routine journaling are all part of the routine. After Halloween has run its course, I wrap up my Christmas lists and plan for Christmas decorating, skipping over a whole holiday. Despite all of this year's political and social challenges, nature will remain the same, acting as a temperance to our chaos. If you'd like to be grounded, though, and in tune w...
