Have you ever used the energy, the vibe, from a song to work out, do chores, or even lull yourself to sleep before? You have like a fast-paced, high energy EDM groove giving you the ‘ginger’ as you push on the stack of weights, getting your chest and abs ripped; you’re matching the pump of your arms with the lively beat of the song when naturally, the song ends — and Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You” comes on. You feel all the energy dissipate from your body, and suddenly you’re struggling to keep up. It’s the same if you’re trying to sleep, or trying to set the mood with your man or woman… A good song played out of turn is no better than the most horrible one.

Enter Playlist…
A playlist will make sure that songs of similar genres, themes, tempos and lyrics are compiled and played in an intentional sequence so as to maximize their impact. This is why DJs are hallowed masters at evoking incredible emotions. You want to set the mood for intimacy with your partner the RnB way? Your playlist of some carefully selected, well arranged “Usher, Tyrese, Robin Thicke, Toni, brandy, etc.” Some flowers and candles would have done over seventy percent (70%) of the work for you — and even you can’t mess up what’s left .
I have prepared some of the best playlists specially for you, which I would love that you check out. They will be carefully and selectively rolled out in my next publication. So stay tuned! Kindly leave your comments herein, and I will respond swiftly.
