Here is a playlist of songs that define this fall season, and some additional songs that you may not know but should definitely check out!
1. âRiverâ by Bishop Briggs
Â
If you havenât already heard this song, it is definitely worth looking up! This is the up-and-coming artistâs second single, showing a lot of promise to fans of alternative songs.
2. â24K Magicâ by Bruno Mars
Anyone who really likes the Motown feel of Bruno Marsâ new music will respect this song as much as I do. Also, it will make you nostalgic of 80âs pop songs.
3. âElectric Ladyâ by Janelle Monae
    Â
Janelle Monae is pretty outspoken when it comes to feminism, and this song is another example of it. Also, itâs good song to jam out to, so thatâs always a plus.
4. âReach Outâ by Joanna Teters & Mad Satta
Although this band may not be well known, once you hear this song youâll want to take a page from singer Joanna Tetersâ book and breathe in the fall air.
5. âMy Bodyâ by Young the Giant
Debuting in 2010, this was the alternative rock bandâs first single. If you are a fan of this song, be sure to check out Young the Giantâs third studio album Home of the Strange, released in August of this year.
6. âBeen to the Moonâ by Corinne Bailey Rae
This single from The Heart Speaks in Whispers is far different from Corinne Bailey Raeâs usual sound. At the same time, it will give your playlist a well-needed Erykah Badu-like edge. Â
7. âSorryâ by BeyoncĂ©
How can you make any playlist without a little BeyoncĂ©? This song will have you saying âboy, byeâ, even if you donât have an S.O. this fall.
8. âShaolin Monk Motherfunkâ by Hiatus Kaiyote
Itâs a mouthful, but itâs so worth it! Hiatus Kaiyote is a seriously impressive band from Australia that combines R&B, electronic, and alternative styles of music. In other words, this is a really cool band that everyone should listen to.
9. âHeathensâ by Twenty-One Pilots
Off the Suicide Squad album, this song has been making waves this season. Its popularity has to earn a spot on your fall playlist.
10. âThe Truthâ by Moonchild
Another band you might not hear on the radio, since it deviates so much from the typically pop sound in all the right ways, is Moonchild. âThe Truthâ is a great song for long drives or a chill night in.
11. âCold Waterâ by Major Lazer, ft. Justin Bieber
Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Justin Bieber is making a comeback. This song is yet another example of his catchy new material.
12. âCry, Die, Flyâ by Drew ofthe Drew
Yes, that is Joanna Teters of Mad Satta. She sang as a member of Drew ofthe Drew before forming Mad Satta later in her music career. This song has more of an alternative rock sound, revealing that Joanna can absolutely do both, and sound amazing in the process.
13. âBYIMMâ by Emily King
For any Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt fans out there, you will be happy to know that Tituss Burgess is featured in this music video! Even though this song sounds easy-going, it has a sassy edge, which Tituss definitely delivers.
14. âYour Eyesâ by Allen Stone
Crazy enough, the reason why you may not know Allen Stoneâs name is because Adam Levine tried to sign him to his label, but Allen declined. Even though he likes to keep a low profile, he deserves to be recognized for his amazing musical talent, and has been steadily gaining popularity ever since.
15. âCloserâ by The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey
Whether youâre still jamming to it or have grown to hate it, you have to admit that this song defines fall 2016. I guess if you canât beat âem, join âem.
Hopefully you gained some inspiration for your growing playlist! Happy listening!
