Definitely R&B. It’s the genre I listen to the most, and honestly, I’m completely addicted and obsessed with it. There’s something about slower songs suddenly surprising you with strong, immersive beats that makes my soul leave my body when I listen to them, and that’s probably the best feeling music can give me. In general, the kind of music I enjoy for those moments will always involve heavy beats or more energetic songs, because I’m a very electric person and I think I like matching that side of myself with the melodies I listen to. You’ll rarely catch me listening to songs that are truly slow or calm without any striking rhythm the way I usually like, because unfortunately I can’t stay with them for too long, they start making me feel restless or even sad. To me, listening to music is almost a ritual, something I use to energize my peace of mind.

So Latin music? Oh, trust me, that absolutely belongs here too. I go crazy listening to it and all the sadness just disappears from my body — especially funk. Huge shoutout to MC Livinho.
