The Playlist That Built My Website

Every website has a strategy behind it. Mine also had a soundtrack.

When I sat down to build RianneNycole.com, I knew the vision was clear. But the process? Hours of staring at layouts, rewriting copy, and making tiny design choices that either felt perfect or completely wrong.

I needed energy, focus, and sometimes just a vibe check at 11 p.m. That’s where this playlist came in. Each track carried me through a different part of the process.

Music has always been how I drop into flow. It turns the work from “task” into “moment.” It reminds me I don’t have to force creativity — I just set the vibe and let it carry me. That’s where Muse Mode Vol. 1 enters the chat.

Here are the tracks that stayed on repeat while I built this site:

  • Ego (Remix) – Beyoncé ft. Kanye West → confidence reset button
  • Love Yourz – J. Cole → grounding
  • Alright – Kendrick Lamar → stamina
  • Out My Mind, Just In Time – Erykah Badu → flow
  • Needed Me – Rihanna → unapologetic energy
  • Can I Live – Jay-Z → perspective
  • Throw It Away – Summer Walker → letting go of what’s not working
  • That’s My B*tch – Jay-Z & Kanye West → energy
  • Prototype – Outkast → easy vibes
  • Munch (Feelin’ U) – Ice Spice → fun

Some songs calmed me down. Some gave me fire. All of them made the hours feel lighter. Music has a way of softening the process, turning “work” into rhythm.

If you’ve been dragging your feet on a project, make your own clarity playlist. Fill it with songs that make you feel powerful, steady, and inspired. Then hit play, and let the work move.
