Who to Add to Your Workout Playlist: Michael Jackson, Brasstracks, and More

A great song can make your workout much more fun! Here are some recommendations on who to listen to when at the gym

A good workout playlist can motivate anyone to do better at the gym! If you're looking for new tunes to add to your very own, here are a few artists to consider adding—in case you haven't already.

1. Dua Lipa

It seems as if Dua Lipa is the top choice for many gym-goers. If you're one of the few who haven't incorporated her into your routine yet, you should definitely seriously consider doing so. Don't Start Now, Sweetest Pie, and Physical are just some of the best hits to move along to.

2. Lizzo

If you're feeling demotivated to work out, look for someone whose songs are sure to uplift. Lizzo's feel-good anthems include Juice, Rumors, and Tiktok hit, About Damn Time. Perfect for every cardio routine you're planning on doing!

3. Cardi B

If there's anyone who can make us push harder through our exercise routine, it's Cardi B. Her lively discography is a sure hit for athletes and gym-goers. Hits such as Bodak Yellow and I Like It are easy to appreciate whether in the club or the gym. Plus, her collaborations with artists such as Bruno Mars and Ye make for exciting new sounds that are sure to make you work hard.

4. Brasstracks

An old-time favourite of mine, Brasstracks' Say U Won't is my personal go-to when hitting a wall during a run. It energises and hypes me up just enough to push through that last kilometre.

Not only that but, Brasstracks' natural style of music is energetic, using a mix of RnB and hip-hop. They have a long list of originals—from Fever to Everything I Got—and covers (including Drake's In My Feelings and Lil Uzi Vert's XO Tour Life), both of which are sure to get you pumped up during a workout session.

5. Cabu

I listened to Cabu a lot in my EDM phase back in the mid-2010s. A Filipino-Australian producer and DJ, he's best known for his remixes. If you're the kind of person who appreciates quick beats and creative musical engineering, then he's certainly the man for you. Check out his reinterpretation of SZA's I Hate U, Mariah Carey's Emotions, and Silk Sonic's Smoking Out The Window.

6. S'natra

It takes a lot of talent to be a good rapper. If you're one of the people who can appreciate a good tune by a talented artist, consider listening to S'natra. He collaborates with plenty of talented producers to create catchy music that's sure to energise; check out Number One, which he did with Ivan Jackson, as well as party anthem Lemme Put This Cup Down, which he collaborated on with Brasstracks.

7. Michael Jackson

The King of Pop has left a legacy that will last forever. Michael Jackson's music spans his entire life. From Jackson 5's ABC to The Jacksons' Blame it on the Boogie all the way to Michael Jackson's work as a solo artist (of which Rock With You and Love Never Felt So Good are personal favourites), there's something for everyone in his discography. Discover the classics from the disco era as you go through your exercise routine for an added shot of adrenaline that will get you sweating.
