365 Questions--July 28

What is in your summer playlist?

The summer time makes me want to dance, so of course there are no slow jams. Well I take that back, if it’s a throwback. Like yesterday, when I was washing my hair, “Incomplete” by Sisqo came on and I was singing my heart out. Summer time make me feel free so I don’t usually gravitate towards slow jams because they’ll have me in my feelings. Throwbacks are a category all of their own. Anything from like 2008 and earlier is fine, but I cannot listen to slow music all day in the summer time. It has to be mixed in with upbeat songs.

One thing I love to listen to during the summer is upbeat songs, especially soca and dancehall. When I think of summer, one of the first things I think of is Carnival. If that doesn’t get you in a good mood, then I don’t know what will. Dancehall is a vibe all by itself anyway.  Think about it. I don’t know how many of yall have partied in Florida, but I can almost guarantee the DJ will play dancehall at some part of the night. The whole club turns up when it comes on. I feel a little awkward talking about this, but for real dancehall will have you lit.
