Sorting Through Browser Tabs: January Playlist
Record Room: Thursday, 1/30
To whom it may interest,
One down. Eleven to go. Has 2025 already taken on the form of permanent dismay?
I spent this week’s non-working evening hours compiling the tracks I’ve enjoyed throughout the month of January, some of which were discussed or spotlighted as singles reviews. I hope you like them. As always, album info and purchase links have been provided with every song featured in this list. Playlists for Apple Music subscribers and YouTube frequenters are available to share.
Enjoy!
