Music Mood Board: Songs For a Relaxed *and* Productive Workday

This week's Music Mood Board [1] is all about the tracks that have helped me keep calm and focussed throughout the workday. I often play hard-hitting, bass-heavy songs [2] when I need a surge of energy, but some days call for more soothing tunes that put my mind at ease as I complete all the tasks on my daily to-do list. Ahead, listen to the songs that have allowed me to whoosah and get stuff done.

“Be Like That” by Kane Brown, Swae Lee, and Khalid

I didn't know how much I needed this collaboration until I heard it. The mix of vocals on this track is just heavenly.

“Menace” by Maya Hawke

This song from Hawke's debut album, Blush [4], embraces a tranquil melody complemented by the singer's delicate musings.

“Stranger” by Jacob Banks

Banks and his entrancing voice have an immediate calming effect on this track. Stress? We don't know her.

“My Reality” by Aminé

Aminé boasts some of his most pensive verses on his third studio album Limbo, which features the triumphant "My Reality."

“Godspeed” by James Blake

Blake's ability to alleviate stress with his music is honestly a superpower. Not all heroes wear capes!

“OK on Your Own” by Mxmtoon feat. Carly Rae Jepsen

This light and airy song is a suitable backdrop for a productive day of work. Not to mention, it's a great reminder to enjoy spending time with yourself.
