Cassette Tape Series

An exploration
2022

Inspired by cassette tapes, I put together some playlists on Spotify and imagined them as physical pieces. Each playlist has a theme and is under one hour long.

I have a love for playlist curation so this is an indefinite series.
Stay tuned 🎧

Jelissa’s 2010 Mix

This one’s dedicated to 11 year old me because she was kind of iconic.

The cover features a half-tone picture of myself from elementary school, with 23 year old me’s tattoos drawn on. The playlist is comprised of some of my favorite pop punk songs that came out in and before 2010. With the pop punk revival among us, there’s no better time to get back to your roots.

Moon in Cancer

This one’s a classic sad girl playlist.

The title and theme is based off of one of my own astrological placements. Here is what co-star says about it: “The moon rules your emotions, moods, and feelings. This is likely the sign you most think of yourself as, since it reflects your personality when you’re alone or deeply comfortable. Your Moon is in Cancer, meaning your emotional self is sensitive, thoughtful, and empathetic. You have a tendency to feel like a martyr, and secretly fear being abandoned by those you love. You often have trouble letting things go and feel like an emotional wreck.”

Serotonin

Here’s something to balance out how sad Moon in Cancer was.

This one’s for those sunset drives with the windows down. It’s kind of cute, kind of romantic. But meant to help bring your mood up a little.
