âMoments In Songâ asks people one simple question, âWhat are you listening to?â We believe that you can learn a lot about an individual and their experiences based off of the music they love. For every installment we ask someone to make a playlist of 10 songs theyâre listening to, whether it be something new they stumbled upon, or a song theyâve always loved, and explain the story behind their choices. The personâs playlist is then uploaded to our Spotify account, giving them the chance to share it with others. Each post aims to profile someone from a different walk of life, whether they be an artist, a student, the mailman, a school teacher, an athlete, a nurse, your next-door neighbor, anyone with a love for music; showing that no matter where we come from, what we do, or what we look like, music has the ability to bring us together.
Kristen shares a lyric centered playlist full of songs that help put her emotions into words. The professional make-up artist tells us why lyrics mean so much to her, how going to school in Pennsylvania broadened her musical horizons, and about her love for Drake. Kristen currently runs her own aesthetics company, âMagnificently Made,â which aims to âhave everyone feeling and looking magnificentâ by satisfying an individualâs health, beauty and wellness needs.
Looking at your list, itâs got a little bit of everything. You got the old school Aerosmith, along with newer artists like Walk the Moon and Isaiah Rashad. Could you describe the thought process that went behind putting this playlist together?
âAlright so since I knew the songs had to be on Spotify, I literally went through every single song I have saved on my Spotify.â
Really?
âYeah. I was very thorough. I chose the ones that I know I really love, which brought the list down to like 20, and about five of them were Drake. [Laughs] Â And so I had to pick one Drake song which is the hardest thing for me to do.â
Whatâs the theme, if there is one, of your playlist? Is it just songs you like? Songs youâre listening to right now? Songs you always go back and revisit? Or a mixture?
âIn order for me to listen to a song over and over again, it has to have a certain part in it that really speaks to me. Like a part that I feel in a place that canât be reached except for through music. And so every single one of those songs have something in it that resonates with me very personally, even if itâs kind of weird and doesnât make sense.â
In one of your explanations you mentioned the instrumental break in âAmazing.â Would that be an example of what you were just talking about?
âYeah. My heart starts beating all fast, Iâm singing all the different instruments; itâs kind of crazy. That song just gives me the goose bumps.â
How would you describe your taste in music, and does your playlist reflect that?
âI guess you could say my taste in music is very lyric driven. Iâm not one of those people that can just listen to a beat and be like âOh, I like the beat.â I really like when artists put time into the lyrics and the meaning behind a song. It means more when I can put myself in the situation that theyâre trying to explain. I like seeing the story.â
So I guess I can say you prefer more relatable lyrics?
âYeah, I guess. I would say relatable, but itâs kind of weird because sometimes it has nothing to do with anything that Iâm going through. Itâs just like, âOh I remember that time in my life when I felt like that.â I appreciate the artists for being able to put into words something I felt so strongly about.â
When would you say that lyrics driven taste in music developed?
âWell I grew up only being able to listen to gospel music.â
Really?
âYeah itâs kind of funny, but it was a great way to grow up.â
I feel like thatâs very lyrical powerful music.
âYeah, so I was always very driven to lyrics, even as a child. My first real taste of secular music was like Lil WayneâŠâ
Ayyee! Good starting point.
âGood starting point. Heâs just like all lyrics driven, so I guess thatâs just where it started and it just grew from there.â
So howâd it go from Lil Wayne, to artists like Aerosmith and Lion Babe?
âOk so, right before I went to college is when I got into Aerosmith. And when I went to college I was in Pennsylvania, so I was around a whole bunch of people, with a whole bunch of different music tastes. I started listening to Rock, Metal, Screamo, really random stuff. One of the songs on my playlist has screaming in it and itâs the best. Iâve gone to the concerts where theyâre jumping on people, itâs an amazing time. So I feel like once I started to broaden my horizons I was able to really experience a lot of different music.â
So you would say that your time in Pennsylvania and the people you were surrounded by was reflected in your song choices?
âYeah my roommates back in Pennsylvania, Iâve never heard half of the people they were listening to. Like Sleeping with Sirens, one of my roommates introduced me to them and I was immediately obsessed and it kind of just grew from there.â
Did you find when you were introduced to these new genres, songs, and artists, the ones that stuck with you went back to that lyric heavy preference?
âIt always goes back to the lyrics. Every single song on my list means something to me very personally that is beyond words that I could explain myself.â
Can you pick one song from your playlist and give us the story behind it?
âIâm going to go with âHoustatlantavegasâ by Drake only because I feel like thatâs the weirdest one. Itâs like how can I relate to Drake taking a stripper home. The lyrics in that song really resonate with me, because heâs talking about a woman who feels like sheâs stuck where she is and sheâs not going to be able to get out from the place sheâs in her life. Thereâs been so many times where Iâve felt like that, whether itâs a relationships, education, just in general. Anytime Iâm having a hard day I listen to that song a lot. Itâs so easy to feel like youâ re stuck in a place, and he puts it into words that I really like.â
