It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for, my second annual birthday DeJamz (cue the applause). As I write this, I look over at my DeJamz from last year hanging on my wall, and naturally I’m filled with dread at the thought of writing a playlist that’d pale in comparison. But I can do hard things. As these words are brought onto the material plane somewhere in the suburbs, I’ll officially be 21 years old –– now able to revel in a vodka cran without fear. So what’s a better way to celebrate than sharing my favorite mood boosting songs? Here’s a selection of jams that, when paired with liquid courage, guarantee anyone (perhaps everyone) might bust a move.
