This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Montclair chapter.

2018 has officially arrived. What better way to start the New Year than with an amazing new playlist? As the holidays come to a close and we make our way back to class, it’s out with the old and in with the new! Get your Spotify ready because here are 5 great songs you’ll definitely want to save! 

Good Girls by LANY

This is such a fun and upbeat song. Try listening to it while getting ready for class or walking around campus! It is sure to boost your mood. 

Doubt (Summer Edit) by Shallou

The beat of this song makes me happy every time I turn it on. It has a flowery and light sound that is so energetic! Perfect for those early mornings where you just can’t seem to muster up enough energy of your own. 

Eventually by Tame Impala

If this song were a person, it would be a kid in ripped jeans, a band tee, bright high-top Vans, and sunglasses strolling down the sidewalk on a summer day. Trust me, it’s just as cool and bright as they are.  

Fading by Vallis Alps

Vallis Alps is a newer group that I’ve found while listening to my Discover playlist on Spotify, and I am SO happy I did. Give this song a listen and maybe you’ll understand why! With a similar light and flowery vibe to that of Shallou, this is great for those early mornings where you’re desperately trying to wake up and coffee alone isn’t cutting it.

Westside by The Kooks

This song isn’t necessarily new, but it is so great! Westside has a funky summery vibe to it that makes you feel like you should be dancing on a beach somewhere in your best high-waisted swimsuit. The weather isn’t exactly agreeing with that, but this song gives us hope!
