Few things accompany spring tasks better than some groovy, uplifting and fresh vibes. Fortunately, music can be all of those things. Listed below are 7 of the 100-ish songs I selected for the Duck Living Spring Cleaning Playlist, Spring: A New Leaf. Welcome spring with open arms and get the day started right with these tunes. Spin the playlist while you clean your room, take your bike out, hang out at Hendricks park or while heading to the farmer’s market.  

1. Bonita Applebum – A Tribe Called Quest

• This song never fails to get me out of bed, the playlist starter. 

2. Voodoo? – L’imperatrice 

• Every time you hear the iconic opening line, “I’m not being cranky, I just hate this party,” just know there is a seriously groovy time in store for you.

3. Lose My Cool (Franc Moody Remix) – Amber Mark

• This Amber Mark track will probably make you want to dance, thank me later. 

4. Fruit – ABRA

• You can get some things done with the angelic voice of ABRA. An entire vibe.

5. Miss Right – Anderson .Paak

• The first of several Anderson .Paak tracks on the Spring: A New Leaf playlist. Yes, even Silk Sonic. Miss Right makes you feel something. 

6. Hunter – Pharrell Williams

• This was a random find from years ago, the Pharrell track is simply fun. 

7. Magic Man – Heart 

• Selected for the sheer power the ladies of Heart emulate in this.
