The busy seasons for concert photography have come and gone, and we're all in withdrawal. So, as shows slowly begin to pick back up, it's the perfect time to start preparing for our next one. If you've ever wondered what the Editor-in-Chief listens to while editing photos (and articles!), look no further! Relax and edit with this chill playlist that's perfect for those long editing sessions when you need to stay productive, but also unwind.
AMAG - "Shadow"
I had no idea who AMAG was until this song popped up on a recommended playlist. This song is a whole vibe, and as catchy as they come.
elijah - "harder to lie."
elijah is one of those artists that you see on tour flyers as an opener and think to yourself, "Well, if he's opening for X, I'd probably love him," but you put off checking out his music. One day, you finally do, and your mind is just blown. This is my favorite track of his, and his top track on Spotify as well.
NF - "Let You Down"
I'll admit it, I put off on actually listening to NF until very recently. Not that I didn't think I'd like his music, I just never took the time to check him out. I figured he was good, but maybe overhyped...it's okay, I can admit when I'm wrong.
G Herbo, Lil Uzi Vert, Juice WRLD, Chance the Rapper - "PTSD"
This track is one of my favorite collaborations with the late, great Juice WRLD, if not my top favorite. Wikipedia says, "The song is about the trauma which the rappers have experienced and its effects, such as mental health issues, and features an 'eerie' guitar-driven instrumental with 'bubbly drums'."
The Kid LAROI - "Always Do"
The Kid LAROI has become a household name, for sure, but I think this still remains a bit of a hidden gem in his discography.
Vwillz - "Darkside"
I only recently discovered Vwillz, but I'm obsessed with his music, especially "Darkside". He blends hip-hop, pop, and alternative music into a style all his own.
Phix, Ekoh - "DOOMED"
What a collab! Phix and Ekoh deliver the heat on this one. These two were made to create together. Here's hoping they do more projects together!
Juice WRLD - "Stay High"
Another by the amazing Juice WRLD. This one is pretty mellow and, honestly, anything I say here is just delaying you from hearing it's greatness.
Ryan Oakes - "IDGAF"
I'm a huge Ryan Oakes fan in general, but nothing hits quite like, "Go ahead and hate me, get your daily dose, I don't give a fuck, I don't owe anyone anything" when you aren't sure how people will interpret your photos, but you also don't care.
Titus - "Rain"
Titus is one of my favorite artists by far, and one the most underrated gems out there. "Rain" is my personal favorite song of his, though "Love Myself" is a close second. If you love relatable lyrics over the catchiest of beats, you don't want to sleep on Titus.
