Summer Playlist, Part 1: July 2020

I took a month-and-a-half long hiatus from this blog series. But I’m back now!

I took a break because I was working on other projects and assignments (plus I wasn’t really in the mood to create playlists, quite frankly). And I actually wasn’t planning on coming back until like September, but I kept hearing new songs that I wanted to share, and so here we are.

This year has been filled with drama and rather than distract from it with this month’s playlist, I thought we’d just lean all the way into it instead. July’s playlist is filled with sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs theatrics and big feelings. It has no chill.

You’ve been warned. 😉
