Dial down the family drama with a Thanksgiving playlist that’s palatable for almost everyone at the dinner table.
N.E.R.D. featuring Rihanna – “Lemon”
It’s not just the hip-hop-loving brother or sister who will enjoy this comeback track from Pharrell Williams’ old group. Anyone who feels like cutting a rug will get juiced by this track.
Kelsea Ballerini – “Legends”
This one’s for the country-loving mom, as well as anyone who misses the really old Taylor Swift (which, let’s face it, is all of us).
Harry Styles – “Woman”
Grandma will dig this Elton John-influenced cut from Styles’ debut album. So will the inevitable One Direction fan in the family.
St. Vincent – “Los Ageless”
Got a hipster cousin coming to visit? This slice of cutting-edge synth-pop will hit the cool spot, and the rest of the family won’t have to worry about “getting it.”
Khalid – “Young, Dumb & Broke”
Your college-age niece will love this ode to youth, as will your ’60s-soul-loving grandpa.
Brian Fallon – “Forget Me Not”
Almost every family has at least one person who loves Bruce Springsteen, but The Boss hasn’t released anything new for a few years. This catchy new track from fellow Jerseyan Brian Fallon will scratch that itch.
Foo Fighters – “Run”
The 12-year-old headbanger in your clan can blow off some steam. Dad, meanwhile, can happily spin yarns about the ’90s.
