Last week’s word in Michelle Williams’ Journey to Freedom journal contest was “happiness.” For our playlist, I’ve selected five songs that always put me in a good mood as soon as I turn them on. They are among my go-to “get happy” songs. Unlike previous weeks, I won’t analyze each song individually because in the case of these songs, it’s really not necessary. All the songs are pretty similar. On all five tracks, the artists are praising the good things in their lives and showing their gratitude while singing, rapping (or, in J.Lo’s case, talking) over a feel-good beat. The selections cover the genres of pop, R&B, neosoul, gospel, and hip-hop. Hopefully, this playlist puts you in a good mood and fills you with happiness!
Also, don’t forget to enter our Michelle Williams Time Capsule Contest for a chance to win two of the albums featured on this playlist!
