From throwbacks to recent hits, River Hill students reveal their current favorite songs at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite what some may primarily believe, many students\u2019 favorite jams are decades old. Junior Piper Stephan\u2019s favorite throwback to dance to while doing her physics homework is \u201cHips Don\u2019t Lie\u201d by Shakira because \u201chips don\u2019t lie,\u201d explains Piper. It seems like 2000s music, whether it be pop or indie rock, are hits with the River Hill crowd. Senior Carter Nierle declares that his favorite song right now is \u201cUnder Control\u201d by The Strokes because of a simple reason really&#8211;he says, \u201cI like it when the singer says the words and the guitars are fun\u2026That\u2019s music for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upbeat and fun songs being favorites among the student population was most certainly a trend. Senior Jason Nguyen explains \u201cnice weather means I can play music and drive with my windows down\u201d and that his favorite song to listen to while doing that is \u201cBoomerang\u201d by P-Lo. American singer, SZA, is more popular than ever at the moment with her new album debuting just last year, but Senior Leah Nesmith has one of her older songs, \u201cSweet November\u201d playing on repeat because \u201cit\u2019s SZA and it\u2019s perfect\u201d Leah describes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very interesting to see students\u2019 different approaches to having favorite songs; some stick to the same artists, and some enjoy branching out more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swifties at River Hill are of course religiously listening to Taylor Swift\u2019s music\u2013new and old. Senior Ellie Axler\u2019s favorite song right now is \u201cAll Of The Girls You Loved Before\u201d because she absolutely loves T.S. Taylor has had some new releases, but of course her older songs are quite nostalgic for her fans. Many students, like Senior August Hao, aim to \u201cfind new fun music\u201d by \u201clistening to a lot of Spotify recommended mixes\u201d though his most listened to songs this month were \u201cPartners in Crime\u201d by Finneas and \u201cBloom\u201d by Surfaces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Branching out into different genres of music as well as re-discovering throwbacks is always an exciting thing and it\u2019s great to see the wide variety of music that River Hill students are currently loving right now.
