Study Mooosic

We’re back to that time of year again:

Less sleep.

Crappier meals.

Fewer showers.

Shorter runs.

Smellier socks.

Sweatier pants.

Warmer sweaters.

Fluffier hats.

Bigger scarves.

Clunkier boots.

Stronger coffee.

More coffee.

Earlier alarms.

Dirtier sheets.

Later arrivals.

Greener Blue Books.

Higher stakes.

Fuller auditoriums.

Busier libraries.

Longer lines.

Crazier naps.

Louder screams.

Crankier roommates.

Worse headaches.

And, of course, sweeter relief.

Until then, some music to get you through the next week or so. Keep your heads down, everyone.

^the latest from Chance’s ensemble, the Social Experiment, with accompanying vocals from the amazing Jamila Woods, the lead singer of Milo & Otis, a group I’ve written about many times. Awesome sound, beautiful harmonies, catchy lyrics.. the whole package. on repeat, for sure.

^for a full EP, check out the wonderful Lorine Chia. The first chunk of tracks are mediocre, but as soon as you reach the song “Livin’ In Vein,” the quality picks up enormously. Great for a smooth sound while studying.

^Nothing says long hours in the library like Mr. Misch. This beautiful British voice will subdue you with its relaxing, soothing vibes. Feeling a bit stressed? Need to block out the voice of panic without distracting yourself with harsh music? This is your ticket to mental serenity. Fill up your study rooms with this mix of jazz, hip hop, soul and Britishy-ness.

For a bit more variability, take a look at this extended mix. You’ll find a great blend of Erykah Badu, A Tribe, Common and Craig Mac. When you need some energy but can’t stomach any more coffee or granola bars, look here for some inspiration.

Good luck everyone!!

There’s light ahead in this tunnel, yet.
