New Year’s Eve means parties, and parties mean music. Rather than dictate the tempo of your shindig, we’ve compiled a sampler platter of songs fast and slow, new and old for the cutting edge crowd, the nostalgic or both.
At the core, what we have here are New Year’s Eve-themed songs, both charlseton-able and stinky leg-forward. You’ll find music from this year (Disclosure, Diane Coffee) as well as classics (Wilson Picket, Peggy Lee) stirred together in one sophisticated New Year’s Eve-music cocktail. Just be sure to sip slow or supplement it with your own stuff — unless you’re only partying for an hour and a half.
