These Favorite Music Playlists Are Sure to Set The Perfect Vibes

Happy Friday! You made it through another week. Hoping y'all had a great one. Although we greatly encourage you to create a life that doesn't depend on, or is always looking forward to the weekend; Friday's just carry that "kick off your shoes and relax your feet, party on down to the XS-CAPE beat, just kick it" kinda vibe, lol.

And although Covid is restricting many of the type of Friday shindigs that one may have attended last year, vibing to a great playlist can't be restricted, not now, not ever. This is why we're sharing with you some of our favorite curated playlists available for your listening pleasure on Spotify.

Celebrities, influencers, and brands alike occasionally share what they're listening to, and as the consumers that we are, being influenced by great music choices just seems like the right thing to do. Music just speaks to the soul in a way that few other things can. Just look at Essence Fest. The event that was meant to be a one-time 25th-anniversary celebration became an annual event because who's saying no to great music, distinguished Nola cuisine, and happy vibes for days?! No one that's who. Nann body, that's who.

So whether you're looking for a lil slow jams to set the evening off, or some Soca to shake your booty to, or some Afro beats to get your party started, we're sharing our favs below.

Forever Mine

This is Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist dedicated to President Obama. With a mix of ol' school and new school, tune in for that lovey feeling.

Black Music Month

Curated by our favs over at Black Love, get into this R&B playlist suitable all year round, not just Black History Month

Soca Made Me Do It

Influencer and entrepreneur Viviane Kaye brings us THE needed playlist for all the Caribbean vibes you're looking for. We dare you to try and not wind your body.

Afrobeats Luvv!

Brought you by none other than Luvvie Ajayi Jones, author and "troublemaker" extraordinaire, describes this playlist as follows: "Because a good afrobeats jam session is what the soul needs sometimes." And we couldn’t agree more.

Kier & Noémie

Last, but certainly not least, the influencer couple Kier & Noémie Gaines, curate a monthly playlist alongside some of their (and our) favorite influencers every single month. And we couldn't link to just one, so we're linking to the 3 that have been curated so far:

  • Black Love is Black History

  • Get on the Good Foot

  • Not Yo Mama's Spring Cleaning Playlist

And with that friends, have a fabulous weekend filled with some amazing music. ♥

'Til tomorrow,

Grace & Peace!
