Dreading the start of classes on Monday? Can’t wait to reunite with friends you haven’t seen in months? Whatever your feelings about the new school year, Recess has a grade A playlist guaranteed to get you through endless hours in Perkins.
"Broccoli" – D.R.A.M. feat. Lil Yachty
Easily the song of the summer, and the perfect soundtrack to warm weather and chill vibes. Expect to hear this at every party from now until Halloween.
"White Ferrari"– Frank Ocean
"White Ferrari" is ethereal and aimless, yet somehow manages to be all the more beautiful for it. Featuring splintered production from James Blake and making a bold call-out to the "Revolver"-era Beatles, it might be the best from "Blonde."
"Final Song" – MØ
With its lighthearted dance energy, the summer bliss doesn't have to end.
“Good Grief” – Bastille
As the first single released off of Bastille’s “Wild World”, “Good Grief” sets up high expectations for the rest of the band’s second album.
“<3 (Heart)” – Cherub
Potentially the most cheerfully violent break-up song ever created.
“Dark Necessities” – Red Hot Chili Peppers
As the Red Hot Chili Peppers hadn't released an album since 2011, I was worried that their new album "The Getaway" would stray from their traditional vibes. The album did not disappoint, though, and “Dark Necessities” quickly became an alt hit.
“HandClap” – Fitz and The Tantrums
A great pump-up jam from this summer, “HandClap” will definitely be my option of choice to listen to while getting ready/awake for classes this semester.
