Alicia Keys ‘Brand New Me’

This song is great to start the new year. This song is all about one admitting their faults and becoming a newer, more free, version of themselves.

Yael Naim ‘New Soul’

While not a recent song, Yael Naim’s ‘New Soul’ has good message to start any year with. She describes the feelings one experiences in this world and how everyone should communicate to learn from mistakes.  

Black Veil Brides ‘New Year’s Day’

Though it is no longer New Year’s Day, this rock song brings a flare to the year’s start. The drums and violin are sure to get anyone motivated to ‘rise from the ashes’ of 2015 and dive into 2016.

Chris Brown ft Usher and Rick Ross ‘New Flame’

Every song list needs a song about finding love. That is exactly what Chris Brown brings us. This song is good for those who want to start the year with a new love.

Thundercat ‘Them Changes’

This song’s upbeat sound does not quite match the darker lyrics, kind of like how our start of the year did not match the Winter season.

Selena Gomez ‘Revival’

As the title suggest, this song is all about revival. This year, take the lyrics’ advice and be your own salvation. Do not hide and let yourself shine.

BØRNS ‘Seeing Stars’

A nice song that is good for those who have a dream for this year that just make them see stars.

Ellie Goulding ‘Keep on Dancing’

If you were hurt last year, take Ellie Goulding’s advice. No matter what, keep on dancing until you find a relief.

Nekfeu ‘On Verra’

You will have to search for the translation of these lyrics but the search is worth it. This song is good for those who do not want to think about what this year could bring and would rather wait to see.

Coldplay ‘Adventure of a Lifetime’

Another song for those who struggled during the previous year. This we only have this life’s adventures so spend it with the people who care for and who care for you.

Phases ‘I’m in Love with My Life’

This song is good for those who want to start this year with some self love.

Lucius ‘Turn It Around’

A good song to remind us that mistakes from last year can be turned around if you just just remember what leads you to the right path.

1. Laura Mvula ‘Green Garden’

A calming song that tells about memories. This song is good at reminding us that even though 2016 brings new experiences we should not forget memories of the previous year.

Lennon & Maisy ‘Bright Side’ (Acoustic)

This song is relaxing and remind us to look towards the lighter side of things as this year starts.

Thao and The Get Down Stay Down ‘Brand New Key’

The mellow sound of this song makes it great for a peaceful start of the year. While the song is a bit of a love song it can remind us that even though 2016 is a new key it can not progress well if we forget what happened in 2015.

Panic! At the Disco ‘Don’t Threaten Me With a Good Time’

A new song from P!AtD that has a wonderfully catchy tune. What better way to start a new year than to listen to a new catchy song?
