This playlist is partially inspired by continual sharing of what she’s grooving and me throwing stuff her way.

I figure the best way to absorb new material is to package it around stuff you already know and love. I’ve created a playlist of 26 songs (sorry, one wasn’t available on Apple Music) and the challenge I set for myself was that at least half of them had to be new to me/released this year.

Let me know what new stuff has been ear-worming you this year.
