The playlist: If there’s one thing to listen to this week, make it this

May is here! So is the heat! So is new music. Make the best of it all

1 Love me more by Sam Smith: This British singer is big on singing songs about self worth, and this is no different. “But lately, it’s not hurtin’ like it did before, maybe I am learning how to love me more.” Preach!

2 As it was by Harry Styles: This song is a big hit on social media, but is one of those ear candy tunes you can listen to it off as well. “In this world, it’s just us, you know it’s not the same as it was”—very apt for the world we are living in right now.

3 About damn time by Lizzo: “Oh, I’m not the girl I was or used to be, uh, b****, I might be better.” Thanks to Lizzo, we can all feel the swag and strut, and get into the week with style. Have a lovely one.
