I choose songs for the list from different criteria such as artist, lyrics, and overall sound. If the song comes from an artist for which I like their overall sound, then they are more likely to be selected for the list. I am a mobile DJ and I perform mostly at weddings, so I must always be aware of the possibility of requests. Therefore, a popular artist will most likely be requested over a lesser known artist. For this reason, I will almost always choose popular artist’s new songs for the pack. I will also choose the songs that have powerful and/or unique lyrics. The song must have a good overall sound regardless of the above criteria. 

I like to single out songs that I really enjoyed while choosing the top songs to download. For this pack, I really enjoyed the new single from Cassidy Rae Gaiter called “Puttin’ On A Show”. I would compare Cassidy’s sound to the early days of Taylor Swift. I really liked the overall sound and the lyrics of this song. I think that young people should really pay attention to the lyrics and the video. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
