NOVEMBER 2O2O SOUNDTRACK


In need of some relaxing tunes for your next cozy evening in? Well friends, I have just the playlist! Indulge your ears in my November 2020 Soundtrack — featuring 3 hours of easy listening, ultra chill, electronic, jazzy, ambient, indie and alternative grooves to perfectly compliment a bottle of Pinot Noir in front of the fireplace. This familiar scene from our Living Room is what almost every single weekend evening has looked like since March — and although I do miss a lot of things about our life pre-COVID, I’m so grateful for this little piece of serenity amidst a chaotic world. I’ve come to treasure our quarantine Friday evenings when we put the fire on, open a bottle of wine and get lost in the world of music! MUSIC has always been an integral part of my life — and I hope my MONTHLY SOUNTRACKS bring you a bit of extra peace and joy to help ease these difficult times. These 56 tracks have been my musical therapy through a tumultuous month!

November’s standout tracks include Downtown Owl’s Okay, Made in M’s Wonderloop, Ganzo’s Happy Feet, TABAL’s Floating Hammock, Psalm Tree’s Lisbon Penthouse,  Norabel’s Pigments, Noé Solange’s Nocturnal Lady, Blue Wednesday’s Seafoam, Macleny’s Doors of Time, Satin Jacket’s rendition of Tycho’s Japan, Sofasound’s Life Is So Beautiful, C4C’s Flower Pillow, West & Zander’s Autumn Haze, Ash Walker’s remix of Kennebec’s Departure, Toby Schay’s moonkiss and Daithi’s How to Fall in Love in a Pandemic. Thanks for listening, friends!

OCTOBER 2O2O SOUNDTRACK


Happy Halloween, beautiful people! I’m back on this gorgeous, sunny autumn afternoon with my October 2020 Soundtrack — a soothing, 60 track, fall playlist brimming with instrumental, jazzy undertones. This month, in addition to my usual melange of cross category listening, I gravitated towards blissed out jazz — which seems to be a common theme year after year as we transition into cooler weather. Despite an unseasonably warm early October, we experienced our first snowfall of the season mid-month and enjoyed many a cozy evening infront of the fireplace with Spotify’s Jazz Vibes playlist streaming through the speakers. Of course, I added all my favourite tracks to October’s MONTHLY SOUNTRACK for your listening pleasure — and I’m elated to share over 3 hours of them with you today!

This month’s standout tracks include Kasbo’s Show You, Handbook’s In Subtle Bloom, Teen Daze’s Environments, Attom’s Lagoon, Lincoln Jesser’s Boba, DRAMA’s 7:04 AM, Hilo’s Don’t Go, David Cutter Music’s Float Away, Teeb’s Universe, Clubhouse’s Haunt You, Clear Blue Skies Golden, Nic Leng’s Music To Clean The House To, Antione Dufour’s beautifully stripped down rendition of Coldplay’s Talk, Bogdan Belyeav’s Wisdom 1:11, Mark Kroos’s Be Still & Know, Mesita’s I’m Considering Quitting Music, DROELOE’S Roadside Flowers, Grooveshine’s Pages, ford.’s Fruit&Sun, Sol Rising’s Surfin’, Brenky’s Otonbu, Shoffy’s You, filous’s Trying Not To Think About You, Petit Biscuit’s Midnight Sky, Nicolas Kluzek’s Blue as an Orange, Handbook’s Temporary, Board-Man’s guitar laden, instrumental rendition of Isn’t She Lovely and DEEB’s Golden Hour. Wishing you all a fun and safe Hallo-weekend, whatever you’re up to!

SEPTEMBER 2O2O SOUNDTRACK


My favourite month of the year has flown by, which means it’s time for another MONTHLY SOUNTRACK! My September 2020 Soundtrack is short n’ sweet, featuring an hour and a half of eclectic, feel good, easy listening tunes spanning genres. I actually spent the majority of the month pouring over my MUSIC archives and listening to my fall soundtracks from years past, rather than new music — and they transported me back to some amazing times! In fact, that’s the very reason I began publishing my monthly soundtracks here at JustineCelina 5 and a half years ago. I now have an extensive library of beautiful memories categorized by month — like a musical time machine to any specific season of life I choose. How incredible is that? As always, thank you for coming along on my musical journey as I share what’s pumping through my speakers each month to help to keep myself inspired, focused and happy. I hope you’ve also enjoyed listening to them as much as I have!

That said, my September 2020 Soundtrack is full of some beautiful new tracks I’ve had on repeat all month long! The Midnight’s Dream Away, Wrong For Me’s Otherwise Fine, Pretty Light’s Only Yesterday, Mon-Day’s Fly High, I See Colors Memories of You, Restless Beat’s Interest, Goth Babe’s Moments / Tides, Arlo Park’s Eugene, Jamie Drake’s Redwood Tree, Grady’s Garden (it seems I’ve had a track with GARDEN in the title every month this summer — I can’t wait to share more about ours later this season!), SUMif’s Walking Away, Luna Shadows malibu bb, ford’s In My Eyes, Handbook’s Careful and Sol Rising’s Beauty Everywhere. Wishing you a safe and healthy month ahead, friends!

AUGUST 2O2O SOUNDTRACK


As the final full month of summer comes to a close, I’m thrilled to bring you another MONTHLY SOUNTRACK! My August 2020 Soundtrack features a mash up of 60 tracks spanning genres from ultra chill instrumental to explicit hip-hop — an eclectic melange of tunes that have been pumping through my speakers all month long. I’ve been spending my days making the most of all this beautiful season has to offer while working away on lots of exciting projects and upcoming content (including a seasonally inspired SPACE REFRESH, which you can catch a glimpse of in this month’s album cover!) that I can’t wait to share with you as we transition into autumn. This nearly 4 hours playlist has been integral in keeping my ears (and mind) entertained and inspired this month as I putter away on various creative pursuits and enjoy the great outdoors!

There are so many wonderful artists and tracks to discover in my August 2020 Soundtrack — but a handful of my personal favourites include Croosh’s Prosecco, Colouring’s Ember, Work Drugs Never Say Die, Jacques Green’s remix of Two Hearts, Yoke Lore’s Fade Away, MGK & Blackbear’s my ex’s best friends, Cam Stacey’s remix of Free (my most played track of the month!), Teen Daze’s Open, Run The Jewels’ JU$T, Phoebe Bridger’s Garden Song, Lastling’s Verona, Alex Lustig’s Free Spirit, Petit Biscuit’s You, Nieve & Soul Chief’s Write This Down, ScHoolboyQ’s Crash, LYREE’s Collins Ave and BRONSON & ODEZA’s  CALL OUT. Happy listening, music lovers!

JULY 2O2O SOUNDTRACK + THE PERFECT LINEN SUNDRESS


My July 2020 Soundtrack is undoubtedly my favourite of the year — and I’m so excited to share it with you today! This 33 track playlist features nearly 2 hours of ultra dreamy, uplifting tunes that have been decorating my summer days and keeping me inspired. MUSIC has always played a big role in my life and is inherently tied to my creative process, as I’m always listening to music while I work away on various projects before I bring them to JustineCelina. July was a very creatively fulfilling month with the perfect mixture of fresh scenery, local travel, lots of gardening and many photoshoots with our stunning Alberta prairies as a backdrop — and this feel-good soundtrack encompasses all the creative, happy vibes July was made of!

This month I could highlight every single track in this playlist as a favourite — so instead, I’ll just let you take a listen! As I did last month, I’m also infusing some STYLE content into this month’s Soundtrack and introducing you to my perfect linen sundress — which I purchased in 5 colourways and have literally been living in all summer long. If you’re interested in additional details, you’ll find them towards the bottom of the post, along with an update on when you can expect my Summer 2020 Lookbook, which I’ve been working away on BTS all month! (Canadian) friends, have an absolutely wonderful long weekend — and whatever you’re up to, I hope you all stay safe and well!

It’s time for another Monthly Soundtrack — and I truly can’t believe the last month of autumn is coming to a close!

This soundtrack is a bit longer than usual, featuring over 3 hours of my favourite fall tunes — I discovered so many new, inspiring artists this past month! I hope you enjoy them, too.

November’s standout tracks include Washed Out’s Chimes, Total Giovanni’s Human Animal (this track gives me major LCD Soundsystem vibes!), Nuages Lost, Mishega’s Home, Koan’s The Light of Sleeping Star, Blue Wednesday’s Sweet Berry Wine, Hiatus’s Youth, Social House & Lil Yatchy’s Magic in the Hamptons, Ryan Pulford’s Better Off Alone, Papadosio’s  Fanfare for the Rain People, Funkmammoth’s Sherwood Stroll, List’s Cut to Now, Anderson.Paak’s Sweet Chick (warning: very explicit but very catchy!) and Kurt Vile’s Life Like This.

OCTOBER 2018 SOUNDTRACK


Better late than never, right?! My October 2018 Soundtrack is the last regularly scheduled post I missed during my forced intermission — but I did want to get it out for you! As you’ve probably gathered, October was an extremely stressful month, but these are the tunes that kept me going! As always, this Monthly Soundtrack is a mashup of musical genres, artists and moods — 2.5 hours of everything my ears enjoyed most last month, with a healthy dose of calming instrumental. If you’re looking for some fresh, inspiring tunes to listen to while you work, think, create, get your sweat on, relax at home, hang out with friends or enjoy a long drive, this soundtrack is for you!

Some of my most played tracks during October included The Echelon Effect’s Your First Light My Eventide, Bon Vie’s Entirety, Tracey Chattaway’s Light The Night, Kiiara’s Gloe, Equanimous’s Forest, Dreamer’s Delight’s Starborne, Attom’s Golden Hour, Middle Kids Salt Eyes, Only Evening’s Emily and Blackbird Blackbird’s B There 2 Hold You. I hope you enjoy one of the more chill playlists I’ve published here at JustineCelina over the years and that it brings your some peace and tranquility during these busy, pre-holiday times!
