First, on our L and O playlist are singles from the past year or so:

- Everything I Wanted by Billie Eilish – Billie Eilish… enough said.
- Higher Love by Kygo – We all know this Kygo track by now and if you haven’t been blasting this in your apartment then you’re missing out.
- Okay by LANY – LANY is a lesser-known band known for their Alt-pop tracks that make light out of heartbreak.
- Don’t Start Now by Dua Lipa – We all know and love this song so we had to include it.
- Lavender by Dreamer Boy – Another lesser-known artist with a great R&B vibe. We highly suggest cooking or drinking wine to this song.
- Erase by Omar Apollo – Light some candles, burn some sage, and crack open a bottle of wine. You’re about to listen to Omar Apollo.
- If You Need Me by Julia Michaels – No one is alone and if you feel isolated, this Julia Michaels track is just the kind of medicine you need.
- Thinkin Bout You by Ciara – This is a great Sunday morning kind of song. Once you nail down the lyrics, make sure to get out your hairbrush and use it as a microphone. This song will have you feeling like a popstar.
The music we love – Singles from the good ole days
Nothing warms the soul more than nostalgia, which leads us to our next singles playlist, songs from the ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s.

The music we love – full albums to binge
There is a chance that all of you living in our apartments in the NoHo Arts District has heard all these albums already. Regardless, they are timeless. Before we begin with the four albums to stream, it is worth noting that not all of these albums are new. In fact, some of these albums are from the 90s. Our choices came down to records that are flawless. If we are going to tell you to stream a record, we don’t want you skipping one track let alone one beat.
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? by Billie Eilish
This Grammy-winning record triggers a world of emotions. The record starts out playful with a sense of confidence with the Intro track and Bad Guy. It continues on to provide perspective on the topics of drugs, life and death, and, of course, love and heartbreak. Like some of the other albums to binge in this list, this record is great to let it all go. To dance, to yell, to laugh, to smile, and to be grateful for this beautiful life we all live.
Malibu by Anderson .Paak
In today’s world, everyone is genre-bending. However, Anderson Paak always gives us soul. This Hip-Hop record is the first of five from Anderson Paak. Not only does Anderson Paak have a memorable raspy voice, but he is also an incredibly talented drummer, and it shows throughout the entire album, which is perfect with a glass of wine… or four.
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Some of us are feeling a lot of angst. How do we release that energy? By blasting Jagged Little Pill by the iconic Alanis Morissette. We want to uplift our spirits, but there is nothing wrong with crying and yelling about our troubles. If there is any record that we can release our frustrations and shed a couple of tears, it’s with Alanis Morissette.
