In This Week's Setlist:

⛓️‍🔥 It’s Cuffing Season

It's easy to feel a bit of FOMO if you haven’t found someone to cozy up with, but don’t fret! November is the prime time to start a new holiday romance before the year ends.

And hey, don’t sweat the dating game, either. Cuffing season is all about embracing the festive vibes and having fun. The year is ending anyway, so why not do it for the plot? 😉

Looking for a dreamy song straight out of a holiday Hallmark movie? Or looking for a serenade to impress your next date? I got you. Here are some beats to get your energy going:

💔😔 It’s Breakup Season

Processing post-breakup grief is hard, and the feeling is so much worse as we approach the cold and dreary season. Suddenly, all the sad love songs are becoming relatable, and the memories seem to linger like the winter chill.

Nevertheless, music is a great way to heal from the pain. You may remember everything all too well, but there's comfort in allowing the melodies to accompany you during moments of solitude and deep introspection.

It may not have worked out, but remember that healing takes time — things will get better ☀️

Here are some tunes you can add to your breakup playlist:

💗✨ It’s Self-Love Season

In a world filled with noise, distractions and expectations, it’s easy to get swept up in living for others and giving beyond your limits.

As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time to decenter your outer world and celebrate the most important relationship of all: the one with yourself.

Recall your power back to yourself with these uplifting beats:

🎶 New Music This Week

How by Dhruv: Take a sip of this afternoon cocktail vibes, coupled with a dash of yearning for someone to love you back. It’s a light tune with deep undertones.

Her by The American Dawn: This track channels strong '80s alt-rock, with rhythms that make you feel like you’re driving through a main road surrounded by misty, moss green forests.

Low and High by Foley: For those whose special someone feels like an adventure, this song takes you on quite literally a melodic rollercoaster ride.
