Here’s something you may not know about me – I kind of really love listening to music. Most people do, but even though I don’t tend to think of myself as some sort of music expert, when I think about it – it’s really rare that I go a day without purposely listening to something. In fact, two of the ways that I de-stress is to throw on my homemade Grey’s Anatomy mix and dance my heart out in my pjs or jump in the tub and vibe out to some playlist in my Itunes. So it’s no secret then that I tend to listen to music based on how I’m feeling.
There’s times when I just really love an artist and their album and I’ll just listen to it off GP, like Adele’s 21. But a lot of times, if you ask me what I’m listening to and I say Kelly Clarkson, it’s mostly because I’m in a Kelly Clarkson type of mood. With that being said, I’ve definitely noticed there’s certain artists and albums I listen to more often when I’m in like with someone.
Here are a few of those albums and songs that stay in rotation for me:
Rihanna – Talk that Talk/portions of Loud
I know these just recently came out and I know I’m copping out by putting 2 albums in one here, but Rihanna’s still on the Loud tour as Talk that Talk is coming out so I feel OK about this. Either way, if you listen to a lot of the songs on here – they’re all about the joys of being in like, the passion of wanting to tear your guy’s clothes off, the desire to lick his teeth and um… other things lol. Between Only Girl in the World, You Da One, and Birthday Cake… I’m just sayin, trust your girl here.
Beyonce’ – 4
Have you listened to the songs on this CD? It’s like an extended love song to Jay. And she just sounds so happy in everything from Love on Top to Party to 1+1 to Countdown. You get the sense that she was feeling extra girly and giggly while singing the songs in the studio and that transfers over to how you feel while listening to the album.
Tamia – Falling for You/Can’t get Enough/So into You
While the other two have that high school girl feel to them, Tamia’s songs give me a more grown-up feeling of being in-like. I go into my zone when these songs come on, like yep I’m an adult – but that doesn’t mean I can’t be madly in-like with someone.
Here are a few more songs that tend to stay on my playlist (without explanations):
Paramore – The Only Exception
Carl Thomas – I Just Thought You Should Know/If You Ever
Amel Larrieux – For Real/Makes Me Whole
Kelly Rowland – This is Love (clearly, this one is when the in-likeness has turned to a little more lol)
What about you? Are there some songs that totally put you in a liking mindset? If so – please share. I’m always looking to add on to my playlist.
