  Melodrama by Lorde is the perfect album to drive to. When I went to Seattle a few years ago, my friends and I would play this on repeat. There's a good amount of upbeat tunes and there's some emotional ones mixed in too.

  A fun, upbeat, bubblegum pop album that is perfect for loud singalongs in the car with the volume turned right up. Twice never misses when it comes to feel-good hits.

  Lord Huron albums. He has a dreamy, soundtrack sort of quality where you can pretend you are in a movie while you watch the miles go by on road trips but it's not so dreamy where you have to worry about your attention waning. He also has a…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Home in This World

  Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads

  Guthrie, Woody, 1912-1967

  Add Home in This World to your for later shelf

  As a child my family would listen to Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads album on long car rides. This is a track-by-track reimagination of that album from an eclectic range of artists. The songs hit differently as an adult, but they still…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• An Awesome Wave

  Alt-J (Musical group)

  Add An Awesome Wave to your for later shelf

  I would really recommend the whole album for immersive road trip listening, but if I had to pick one song, it would probably be 'Breezeblocks' for a more upbeat kick off to the drive. Alt-J is the kind of unique alternative indie…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  Add Stick Season [We'll All Be Here Forever] to your for later shelf

  Noah Kahan! He has up-beat but thought provoking songs. They will get you thinking and contemplating life while also distracting from the miles passing you by. You will feel a connection with him and the choruses will linger in your head…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• In the Nighttime

  Myles, David

  Add In the Nighttime to your for later shelf

  David Myles is great! He's a Canadian independent artist, who does folk/jazz/roots music. I also love his Christmas album, and will actually play it too on summer road trips.

• Dawn FM

  Weeknd, 1990-

  Add Dawn FM to your for later shelf

  Fav song: Less Than Zero - So catchy and easy to sing-along to. Makes a road trip feel a lot quicker.

• Map of the soul :

  7 version 01 /

  BTS (Musical group)

  Add Map of the soul : to your for later shelf

  BTS is my favourite K-pop artist because they don't stick solely to one genre or one sound. This specific album combines rock, hip-hop, and pop to create a track-list that has a diverse and unique sound.

• Currents

  Tame Impala (Musical group)

  Add Currents to your for later shelf

  Fav song: Let It Happen - The album version of this song is over 7 minutes long but every minute is purposeful and adds new pieces to the song.
