Parsons Playlists: “Mocha Mousse”

Posted on March 21, 2025 by marmstr3

Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Amy (class of 2025) and features songs inspired by Pantone’s 2025 color of the year.

Mocha Mousse

I have finally reached my fourth annual Pantone playlist, just in time for my last semester as a student employee at the Parsons Music Library. 2025’s color of the year is Mocha Mousse—a warm, inviting hue that captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. Pantone describes Mocha Mousse as a velvety, gentle mocha tone that enriches mind, body, and soul with its comforting sophistication. Pantone collaborated with Spoonflower, Pura, and Libratone to celebrate this trend. Spoonflower introduced a collection of fabrics in Mocha Mousse, Pura created a line of artisanal candles based on mocha mousse, and Libratone launched earbuds in mocha mousse. Here are 18 songs I believe are a mix of mellow and cozy warmth.

Field Medic – “mood ring baby”

SZA – “Crybaby”

First Aid Kit – “Emmylou”

Lana Del Rey – “Say Yes To Heaven”

Norah Jones – “Don’t Know Why”

Adele – “All Night Parking (with Erroll Garner) Interlude”

Thee Sacred Souls – “Will I See You Again?”

Faye Webster – “In A Good Way”

SZA – “Kitchen”

Laufey – “Dreamer”

Clairo – “Add Up My Love”

Bon Iver – “For Emma”

Big Thief – “Paul”

Gregory Alan Isakov – “Big Black Car”

Lizzy McAlpine – “Spring Into Summer”

Kacey Musgraves – “Deeper Well”

Alice Phoebe Lou – “Open My Door”

Faye Webster – “I Know You”
