Hello All! Along with other excuses to celebrate this month, I'm excited to say I am no longer in my early twenties! I am told that wisdom comes with age, and so hopefully wiser musical choices come with 25 years of experience (as well as getting to pay half the price when renting a car!!). You'll find a little nostalgia and some current radio up-and-comers in my playlist this month:

Highlights
- Track 2/ Brand New by Pharrell Williams Feat. Justin Timberlake
I have been all over everything Pharrell has put out since his "Frontin" days. He is huge right now, and for good reason, because this new album looks like it's gonna be good! This track is fresh from his album GIRL, and is the perfect start for the season that has "sprung."
- Track 11/ Hold Onto Me by Mayday Parade
This is a song recommended to be my one of my adolescent patients. As a Music Therapist, I work with teenagers with mood disorders and behavioral issues, and the main way I build rapport with them is through music! My favorite thing is seeing their reaction when they discover I not only KNOW the music they listen to, but HAVE it on my ipod for them to pick. Black Veil Brides and Drake are the top choices, but I also get a lot of requests and there are things I'm not familiar with. I definitely would have added this song to one of my burned CDs in high school (the one with Dashboard Confessional and Blink182).
- Track 13/ Say You'll Be There by MØ
Three words: SPICE GIRLS COVER. Yessss. This is the perfect throwback with an updated Danish electro-pop spin on my favorite song by the Girl Power group. I actually wasn't that big of a Spice Girls fan when they were big-- 9 year old me was more concerned with boys at that point (the Backstreet Boys that is!)-- but I recognize that their music played a part in my musical history. After all, this was the important time in my life when I chose Christina over Britney.Thanks for listening (literally)!
