#nowplaying: First Week of NYC

Recently I posted #nowplaying: Soundtrack to My Life. Music plays a huge role in our lives and should be taken into consideration when we reflect on life and events. After rereading my tweets, these are the songs that sum up my first week in NYC:

Mute Math – Electrify – Sort of encompasses NYC — crazy, frantic, fast paced and will fry you if you’re not careful. It has been an intense first week here. When the melody streams into my ears I move quicker and get a nice kick for that morning walk to work. It’s comparable to caffeine for coffee addicts.

Wale – World Tour (feat. Jasmine Sullivan) – I’ve traveled more in the past few months than I have ever before. To top it off, I’ll be doing even more travel in March to attend SXSW. Three different states and eight cities later I’m here in NYC. I’m not quite a world traveler, but I’m getting my fair share of the states.

Lupe Fiasco - Turnt Up – Sort of like Lupe’s “I’m-back-and-harder-than-ever” jam. For me, he comes with the hard stuff, and it’s good. I like the sound and attitude of this track. I feel like I’m Turnt Up with a new attitude since my recent transition.

Mute Math – Progress – A nice mellow tune that sends me back into reality. It is a song that I can wind down to. I can always count on Mute Math to give me great music.

La Roux – Bulletproof - The title is self-explanatory. I’m not saying I’m invincible, just bulletproof; or at least that’s my attitude. Nothing will stop me from achieving my goals.

What songs are you listening to? I want to know. Plus, I love new music, so shoot me some suggestions!
