Rise ‘n shine

“Ophelia”
The Lumineers
Set to a backdrop of melodious piano and folksy claps and stomps, this first single of the Lumineers’ new album delivers a slower, more haunting tune than the group’s famous “Ho Hey.” Inspired by Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Ophelia’s lyrics are catchy and simple but leave a lasting impression. The Lumineers’ new album “Cleopatra” is set for release in early April.

Afternoon anthems

“Touch Down Acoustic Mix”
iakopo
Ease away your winter blues with this beachy track that begs for you to dance along. The smooth acoustic guitar and easy vocals put a unique spin on the tune that gives it more of a pop music vibe than classic reggae.

Turn up…

“Don’t Let Me Down”
Chainsmokers
The EDM duo’s techno-pop track may be the perfect follow up to the Chainsmokers’ 2015 hit, “Roses.” Heavy with percussions, horns and catchy lyrics, this song is perfect for both the dance floor and your headphones.

…and turn down

“Bloom”
The Paper Kites
The folk rockers Paper Kites arrived on the scene with their breakout hit “Bloom,” where their tranquil, folksy vocals are underlaid with a soothing guitar background. Let them sing you to sleep with the rhythmic beat and sweet tones that really do harken back to simpler times.
