Life will always throw challenges our way, but occasionally we need a moment to remember what really matters. A West African phrase meaning “enjoy life, and celebrate it to the fullest”, Chop Life is our collection of feel-good sounds that are guaranteed to help you forget your troubles and lift your spirits all year round, featuring dynamic artists from across the African continent. Our editors update this playlist often, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Here are the tracks on everyone’s mind and in everyone’s ears. From ballads to bops, hip-hop to R&B, Afropop to Afrobeats and more, these are the biggest hits anywhere and everywhere—an ever-changing snapshot of now. Our editors are constantly searching for new music and updating this mix—so if you hear a song you like, add it to your library.

ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. Here, it’s as much an attitude as a sound—music that keeps things a little left of centre and rough around the edges. This week, Of Monsters and Men lose themselves in “Ordinary Creature”, a romantic fantasy of a track off <i>All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade</i>, their new album, out this month. Not unlike the early, exuberant folk-rock singles that took them from Iceland to the international stage, “Ordinary Creature” has vocalists Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson daydreaming about their loves while trying to figure them out (“I was in a dream/Swimming up the stream to your door/Flowers in the window/Sweater on the bed/What’s your day like? What’s your day without all your problems?”). Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
