Coffee & a Playlist is a lifestyle and music curation website designed to pair the ritual of drinking coffee with specifically curated soundtracks. It functions primarily as a hub for Spotify playlists, blog content, and resources for independent musicians.
The site’s core offerings include:
1. Curated Music Playlists
The website features a variety of “mood-based” playlists. While the name suggests a focus on chill coffeehouse music (like lo-fi, acoustic indie, and jazz fusion), the site actually covers a wide range of genres, including:
- Classic Rock: 70s, 80s, and 90s hits.
- Morning Routines: “Morning Clarity” sets designed to lower cortisol and boost focus.
- Heavy Genres: High-intensity workout music and heavy rock anthems.
- Digital Detox: Soundscapes intended for mental resets and “dopamine” recovery.
2. Blog & Lifestyle Content
The site maintains an active blog that covers topics beyond music, often updated daily. Common themes include:
- The Creative Life: Articles on the benefits of playing instruments, the experience of being in a band, and workplace productivity.
- Coffee Culture: Discussions on different types of coffee and the “vibe” of coffee shops.
- Wellness & Organization: Tips for getting organized, the benefits of houseplants, and mental clarity.
- Technology: Explanations of how satellites work or the impact of AI tools (like Suno) on songwriting.
3. Support for Independent Artists
A significant portion of the site is dedicated to helping independent musicians navigate the streaming era.
- Algorithm Education: It provides tips for fans on how to support artists by liking and sharing tracks to trigger Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” and other editorial playlists.
- Submissions: There is a dedicated section for artists to submit their music for consideration in the site’s curated playlists.
