A December Playlist – Blogmas Day 9

December 9th 2017

This is the point when people get a little tired of 24/7 Christmas music…

On Blogmas day 5 I posted a playlist of my favorite Christmas and holiday songs because I love getting super festive right at the start of the month. However, midway through the month, I usually have my fill of Feliz Navidad and I’m Jinglebell Rocked out so I need some other music to change things up.

So I decided, to benefit myself and anyone else who needs a break from the holly jolly bops, I made a little playlist for everyone to enjoy!

Here is my December Bops playlist, filled with old songs, new songs, and songs that even I haven’t listened to much yet (and some little reviews and commentary along the way):

1. Blood On The Mattress- Korey Dane and Zella Day– I am so happy Zella Day is back and this collab with Korey because love makes beautiful music
2. Waiting for the Tide- Cody Simpson and the Tide– Yes, Cody Simpson is back with a really bop and I honestly have this song to thank for getting me through multiple moments of struggle and anxiety.
3. Feel it Still- Portugal the Man- I’m so sorry to anyone who is sick of this song because I still love it and will bop along forever.
4. Detail in the Fabric- Jason Mraz- An oldy but a goody. I thought about this song recently and decided to dig it back up. Totally love.
5. Lowlife- Poppy- I love Poppy and this is the first song I heard of hers over a year or two ago. Her music is incredibly meta but boppy as heck!
6. Thunder- Imagine Dragons- Heard clips but never gave the full song a chance so here we go.
7. watch- Billie Eilish- I’ve heard a few of Billie’s songs before but she is really spiking in popularity at the moment so I decided to integrate a couple of her songs into this list.
8. Sit Next to Me- Foster the People- I find Foster the People to be incredibly underrated and underappreciated since Pumped Up Kicks.
9. Concrete Jungle- Au/Ra- This was on my fall playlist but I sort of slept on it and now I really want to try listening to it again.
10. COPYCAT- Billie Eilish- Like I said, I want to listen to more Billie Eilish.
11. Love Galore- SZA- This song was hiding on a playlist I never finished creating. I’ve heard people rave about SZA so I wanted to give this song a whirl because clearly I liked it enough to add to a previous playlist.
12. Relapse- Divided by Friday- I can’t describe the genre of this song but it sort of makes me feel like a bunch of genres were smacked together to create this song that sounds like some other songs but is still catchy and I want to give it a shot.
13. Find New Friends- Super chill song. Never heard it until I was browsing my Discover Weekly playlist today. Acoustic but with a bit of a folk undertone.
14. Nineteen- Hayley Williams- I believe this is a cover of Tegan and Sara but I am not familiar with them so I don’t know for sure (although my goal for next year is to familiarize myself with their music). I just really love Hayley Williams so I had to throw this on.
15. Daddy’s Girl- Natalia Kills- Not familiar with this song or artist at all but upon my first couple “skim listens” it gives me a bit of R&B mixed with some more vintage sounds. Really boppy.
16. Everything’s Gonna Be Alright- Mike Mains- Chill and indie and a positive affirmation that I really need at this point in my life.

Overall, I’m really pleased with how much new music I gave myself to explore this month and if you want to check out my playlist yourself, click here!
