Songs We Love This December
The entire Setlist staff is back this month with more songs we’ve been listening to and loving recently! As always, we’ll post this entire playlist on our Spotify, so check it out and see if you can find something new to vibe with.
Dana Behling - President
Magazine by Vera Blue - Super luxe and laced with gorgeously melodic strings. I’ve shamelessly had this alt-pop hit on repeat for weeks.
Aristocrat (feat. Garibay) by Poppy - Great to put on if you want to be transported to another time. Vaguely reminiscent of the film Marie Antoinette. I would have made this whole album my pick for November if I could.
Grace by Florence + The Machine - This song is a religious experience. I might still be coming down from the high I got seeing her perform this song live in October.
Maddie McVey - Editor/Writer
The Walker by Christine and the Queens - A beautiful melody from the French visionary with a stunning music video to match. One of my favorite tracks from one of the best pop albums of the year.
It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You) by The 1975 - A sparking sing-along bop with honest lyrics about frontman Matty Healy’s struggles with drug addiction. Sure to please fans of both the band’s new and old sounds.
Feeling of Falling by Cheat Codes feat. Kim Petras - This brand new dance song featuring the on-the-rise pop star will make you wonder how this isn’t on the radio yet. There’s nothing like guilty pleasure pop!
Maggie Doggett - Assistant Manager
Party Favor by Billie Eilish - A slow bop that is nice to listen to on a calm car ride. The perfect song to listen to once you’ve finally broken up with someone you should have broken up with a while ago.
What You Waiting For? by Lily Allen - A song that will make you dance and cry at the same time.
Waiting for Cars by Soccer Mommy - Beautiful and haunting. Perfect song to listen to when your falling for someone and you need to know if they are falling for you.
Alex Woods - Writer
Jet Fuel Can’t Melt Steel Beams by Camp Cope - A song for the angry femme females that brings to light the real struggles of being a female.
Talking Straight by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - A great tune to blast in your car and to help forget your problems.
Self Care by Mac Miller - A song by the late multi-instrumental artist. This song highlights the importance of taking care of yourself and the hard truths of mental illness.
Keven D’Arcy - Social Media Manager
3 Nights by Dominic Fike - A song by a new artist emerging from South Florida. The chorus is so damn catchy.
Sunflower by Rex Orange County - It has been so cold lately, and this song just makes the winter a little more bearable.
Summer Days by A R I Z O N A - I really just miss summer. This song will make you want to party on the beach.
Sara Rudick - Treasurer
14 Faces by Lewis Del Mar - A cool indie rock jam I’ve recently discovered.
Torn by Neck Deep - I love when punk rock bands do covers of classic pop songs, and this time is no exception.
Bambi by Hippo Campus - If you’re in the mood for some fun chill vibes, I definitely recommend this song (and band).
Molly Kennedy - Photographer
Alien Boy by Oliver Tree - Recently discovered this soft alternative pop artist and fell in love with this vibey song.
Come Out and Play by Billie Eilish - My favorite artist came out with a soft and calming tune.
Without Me by Halsey - Her recently released song is relatable beyond compare and I love the story behind it, a great bop overall.
Alina Serbina - Editor
Trash Bat by AFI - AFI is finally back with another song and an EP coming out on December 7th! Since The Blood Album, I’ve patiently waited for new content and I was not at all disappointed by this new song!
Criminal by State Champs - I’ve recently gotten into State Champs from a recommendation of a friend. Living Proof was released in the summer of 2018 and I love the overall sound this band has!
I Couldn’t Be More In Love by The 1975 - I have patiently waited for the release of A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships and I am pretty content overall with this album. As always, Matty put all of his emotions out there with some honest and raw lyrics. This song is one of my favorites of the new record.
