Every Monday, we bring you 5 tracks to help you head into your week with a pep in your step! With a variety of genres from different decades, our Monday State of Mind series is the perfect mini playlist to have your Monday feeling great.
This is the ultimate autumn/spook season track. Using vampirism as a metaphor for an all consuming love is not a new trick, however Tame Impala has made it their own. With their signature psychedelic-indie production and catchy lyrics, you’ll be humming “Dracula” all week.
Olivia Dean’s new album “The Art of Loving” was released last Friday, and of course it is absolutely beautiful. “Close Up” sees Dean be vulnerable about a lover not opening up to her and being hot and cold with her. Dean’s voice is hypnotising, and this track is perfect for winding down after the first work day of the week.
Nxdia can do no wrong. Their music is truly unique; genre-bending and mixing Arabic and English to make a sound that is truly their own. “Puppet” sees Nxdia urge their lover to use them as they please. Gorgeous and lust-filled, mwah.
Bad Bunny’s music never fails to get you moving. “ALAMBRE PúA” was released back in July and sounds like a hot summer’s day. Pop this on when it’s almost Friday.
“Two Years” is an electro-indie track where Sigrid emphasises it took her two years to get back to herself. Full of catchy choruses and drums, you’ll be ready to head straight into the weekend with this song.
