The transition from Summer to Fall has always been a favorite of mine. As the days slowly get shorter, and the need for a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte becomes more evident, September is the best time to snuggle up on the couch with your favorite people, and most importantly- your favorite fall soundtrack. Here at Olivia Management, we love just that. Because of this, we have taken it upon ourselves to set you up for success when it comes to this new season. So cuddle up, because we asked our team for their go-to Autumn record that will ensure you the coziest season full of warmth, spice, love, and festivities.
Erin - “Life in Slow Motion” by David Gray
To start us off, the woman behind it all has chosen an early 2000’s classic, “Life in Slow Motion” by David Gray. Paired alongside her favorite recipe from Alison Roman, nothing quite gets better than this record and a bowl of Spiced Chickpea Stew!
Merk - “For Emma, Forever Ago” by Bon Iver
Up next, Merk has chosen Bon Iver’s first album, and a touchstone of the indie folk genre, “For Emma, Forever Ago.”
Fun fact: This album was recorded in a cabin in the woods while founder Justin Vernon was taking some time away for self reflection. If that doesn’t scream Fall, I don’t know what does.
Grace - “Tapestry” by Carol King
Grace has chosen not only an album we all should know and love, but also a masterpiece.
“Tapestry” by Carol King was long before its time and has impacted the music industry more than we will ever know, especially for women. This album not only topped the U.S. album chart for fifteen weeks in 1971, but it also remained on the charts for six years after its initial release. A fall MUST!
Maddy - “Red” by Taylor Swift
Moving on to the Swiftie of the office, Taylor Swift’s “Red “ is a staple for more than just Maddy. For the sad girl autumn, or for the post break-up comeback, this album has everything you need to get you through the Fall.
Anna Layne - “This Empty Northern Hemisphere” by Gregory Alan Isakov
Although “Red” comes in first for Anna Layne as well, “This Empty Northern Hemisphere” is a close second place. This heartfelt, honest, and authentic album will leave anyone in the cozy spirit and ready to curl up in a ball on the couch.
Jacob - “Surrender” by Maggie Rogers
I am a strong believer that anything by Maggie Rogers is a year round listen. “Surrender” specifically dives deeper into emotion, sexuality, and freedom, delivering anything your heart could desire in this season of change which is why it is so important to immerse yourself in this album.
Juils - “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane
For Juils, “Somewhere Only We Know” is the single song that captures every aspect of Fall in her books. The right amount of love, hope, yearning, and comfort.
You’ve made it! You are officially ready for Fall and all things cozy.
At Olivia Management, we pride ourselves on knowing good music when we hear it. We hope that this not only helps you smoothly transition from Summer to Fall, but our hope is that you also take time for yourself to cuddle up, drink a pumpkin spice latte, and know exactly the music to help you spice up your Fall season.
