In the last SA Insider, we asked you to share favorite songs, albums and playlists. Here are music recommendations to check out from your Student Affairs colleagues!

Favorite songs

"'Texas Sun' by Khruangbin, Leon Bridges. This is sure to get you ready for summer drives, taking a dip in a pool and sunset beers."

"I have been listening to 'Broken Record' by Alex Ebert (of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) a lot recently."

"'Always Gold' by Radical Face. It brings joy, sorrow and peace all at once and takes me back to many meaningful memories."

"Right now I like 'Ooh Child' by Hall and Oates. Things are gonna get easier."

Favorite albums

"Jaime by Brittany Howard. Howard's first solo album since breaking from Alabama Shakes, don't call it a comeback."

"An album I have been listening to recently is House of Sugar by Sandy (Alex G). It is catchy melancholy folk. Fave song: Hope."

"Gregory Alan Isakov's album with the CO Symphony Orchestra. Nothing more beautiful has ever been written."

"Cloud Nine by Kygo is an essential for road trips and long car rides! I love the tropical house melodies."

"Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest. Top ten hip hop albums ever. So funky."

Favorite playlists

"'The Obama's Summer Favorites'. Listening to this will make you feel like you're on a summer road trip with Michelle and Barack."

"'Questlove presents Medicine Music'. Really good selection of mellow tunes from all genres that helps during these times."

"Literally my faves on Spotify"
