Hey fabulous followers! Here’s this week’s #HellOnHeels: Now Playing. Be sure to tweet me your favorites @HellOnHeelsGirl. Have you gotten your #HellOnHeels koozie yet? Grab one here. Enjoy!

1. “Tip It On Back” by Dierks Bentley 

Relax with a drink and your friends to this fabulous country hit by Dierks. Music Video

2. “Kiss My Head” by Passafire

I present an alterna-rock mellow jam to you. This song got me into the group Passafire, and hopefully you like it too! YouTube

3. “My Body” by Young the Giant

Continuing on the alterna-rock train, this song has been a recurring playlist favorite for months now. It’s great to rock out to in the car for a dance party of one (my favorite) and such a boost for your spirit. “But I won’t quit, ’cause I want MORE.” Music Video

4. “Lolita” by Lana Del Rey

I feel like the baddest, sexiest, bitch when I listen to this song. Give me some red lipstick and red heels and I’m good to go. Vimeo (Side note: Lana created a homemade video demo? Check it out here.)

5. “Marshmallow World” by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to bust out the mistletoe and holly for Christmas! These two are my FAVORITE male singers of all time (I’m Italian and a huge sucker for the classics, what did you expect?!) so I found it only appropriate that the first Christmas song to make the Now Playing list be sung by them. This song is upbeat with essential pop standard charm. It’s classic, timeless and happy. A must add to any Christmas playlist. Also, watch the original video of them performing it live on TV here. They just make it look so easy and fun!

Now Playing: Third Edition

Hey fabulous followers! This is the most random assortment of songs, from different years, singers, styles and genres. But, I adore them all the same. Enjoy!

1. “Black Tears” by Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean decided to be super generous and release his new album “Night Train” the day before my birthday! Yes, in case you were wondering, my birthday is tomorrow, so happy early birthday to me :) Still have to really fully listen to the whole album, but this song IMMEDIATELY jumped out at me. It’s been on repeat since about 10:00 AM today. If he doesn’t release this as a single, I’ll be utterly shocked. It’s about a stripper, and it’s dynamite. YouTube

2. “Dance With Me” by Debelah Morgan

As part of my birthday, I’m sharing with you one of my all time favorite songs. This latin/soul/r&b/dance/tango infusion song is set to the same music as “Hernando’s Hideaway”, but with a modern twist and different lyrics. Told you I like all different types of music! Music Video

3. “50 Ways to Say Goodbye” by Train

Okay, I’m just going to come out and say this, I can’t believe that a Train song made this list. One day I found myself channel surfing the XM radio stations and stopped at this song, without seeing who the artist was. It got excited because an element of the music is reminiscent of Phantom of the Opera. I like musicals, it’s whatever. WARNING: this song is stupidly catchy! Music Video

4. “The Only Way I Know” by Jason Aldean featuring Luke Bryan and Eric Church

Three of my FAVORITE country male singers COLLABO STYLE?! Clearly, it’s destined to make this list. YouTube

5. “Bounce” by Calvin Harris featuring Kelis

This techno/dance song was all over the pre-game mix this past weekend. Drink every time they say bounce. Music Video

6. “Keep On” by Eric Church

I’m obsessed with Eric Church, everyone knows this. And, since it’s my birthday tomorrow, I’m sharing another one of my favorites with you! The cutting, witty lyrics are just a prime example of why Eric is the most nominated artist for the CMA Awards this year. Music Video

7. “The Quest” by Bryn Christopher

Slower, alterna-rock and pensive. It’s a reflective song with a punching, hard-hitting cut to it. Interpret as you will. Music Video

Which one of the above is your favorite? Tweet it at me!
