Spring Playlist
Spring: the season where colours seem more vivid, butterflies fill the air, flowers blossom, the bird’s mesmerizing chirps floods your ears, the sun creeps out from underneath the winter blanket and we roll out the red carpet to invite the sun’s rays to light the sky. As the season slowly changes, there is a mood upswing, frowns get turned upside down and there are just good vibes all around. If you are struggling to fight off the winter gloom, we have prepared a spring playlist which consists of upbeat melodies and bright rhythms from South African artists. It will move you into the spring vibe where even the darkest additions have a spring swing.

“Rich boys and the poor girls in their wrong showing off their car guard tan” This song has been stuck in our heads since the beginning of the year. A song about a boy and girls’ troubles. It has the power to uplift a bad day into the best day.
