Which artist topped your Spotify playlist this year?
“Raynes. They are kind of indie pop and it’s really fun to dance to and it’s really exciting!”
Annaliese Speth, West senior
“Searows’ music is so low key and you can listen to it anytime anywhere. It’s good study music, if I studied, you know. I always listen to it during solo car rides. It’s like walking around kind of emo in my own world. It’s not upbeat to any extent, and that’s okay, I don’t mess with the hype beat too often.”
Shay Feiter, West senior
“Logic. I like his music because it’s cool and I think he sings about a lot of serious and interesting topics.”
Cole Novales, West ninth grader
“Hippo Campus. I really like their music because they explore a lot of really inward-facing topics with their music, but I also just really like the way it sounds. I like their use of different guitar pedals and patches to create sounds that are interesting to me. They keep trying a bunch of different things and they have a really consistent musical output of high-quality stuff and I just think they’re really cool!”
Mindara Krueger-Olson, East orchestra teacher
“I feel like Zach Bryan’s voice isn’t super dynamic, like he doesn’t have a very wide range, but he makes up for it with emotion and ferocity in his voice.”
Reed White, East senior
“Lin-Manuel Miranda is my top artist for the fourth year in a row. He does a lot of musicals and I love Disney music and obviously ‘Hamilton.’”
Madeline Rahlf, East sophomore
