A lot of positive, upbeat, (and?) even fun songs?
Hi. Should there be the conjunction "and" before the word "even" in this sentence? Thank you in advance.

How about this? Shouldn't there be the conjunction "and" before the word "even" here too?

The first sentence should not have the word "even" in it. Songs that are positive and upbeat should be fun in their own right, but the word "even" means that despite being positive and upbeat, these songs are fun, which is contradictory. " The second sentence is not right.
