Anyone else notice a lull in the music scene last year? Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention, but I've been listenting to the same stuff over and over. Recently, though, I've felt a swell of new jams on the radio that are actually gettin gmy attention. Lately I’ve been digging a ton of songs that have been coming out. Alternative music is getting a resurge, which I absolutely love. Pop is starting to become a mix of rap and electronic, two genres I’ve always been able to dance to.

Some of my favorite older bands are coming out with new albums (Weezer, Offspring, Foo Fighters, and Modest Mouse to name a few). And don’t even get me started about how excited I am for the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s new album to drop. So, because I’m finding such awesome new music I decide to throw it into one big mixtape called New Jams. If you’re looking to shake up your music scene, give these a listen. Some of them you’ve probably heard all over the radio (I’m not the only one who still listens to the radio am I?), but I’m sure there will be a couple wildcards thrown in there for you. And T-Swift’s song “Style” would totally be on here too if she wasn’t boycotting Spotify. Just in case I haven’t convinced you that this playlist is awesome, here are some notes on my favorite songs from this playlist.

SUGAR
Sugar by Maroon 5. If you need a little sweetness in your life, look no further than this lovely soft pop song. This song is such a feel-good jam. Upbeat love songs are one of my favorites, and Adam Levine has the perfect voice to pull off this song. It has a smooth and sweet feel to it, with a few jazzy vibes thrown in. It's no surprise that Sugar is quickly becoming my go-to happy song for so many reasons, but my favorite thing about it is how it makes me think of my sweetheart every time I listen to it. What can I say, I’m a hopeless romantic!

BACK TO THE SHACK
Back to the Shack by Weezer. Alright so this one isn’t totally new (it came out last October), but it’s so freaking good. Weezer fans rejoice, as the band has finally re-found its sound. This song is all about how good it was in the Blue Album days, and even though they’ve released some catchy songs since then, they haven’t put together an album as cohesive has their first one. This song is an unapologetic anthem about where Weezer has been in the last 20 years. Bottom line, Weezer can still bring it and this song rocks, check it out!

BOSS MODE
Boss Mode by Knife Party. Do you ever have those days where you just feel like quitting your job and running away to join an underground traveling rave circus? (Do one of those even exist and where can I find it?) One listen to Boss Mode and you’ll be instantly lost in the trappy saxaphone-y beat. That’s what I love about good electronic music, it takes you to a new level of dancing and grooving out that no other genre can do. I can’t wait to see Knife Party at this year’s Counterpoint festival, it’s going to be incredible!
