Soundtrack to 2016

Hey sweetos! Children born, adults passed. Food consumed, then digested. Texts typed...then backspaced. Votes cast, tears shed. What a year it’s been. I’ve laughed, cried, loved, and lost… and through it all, I’ve had a great companion.

Music.

I don’t consider myself a person who keeps up with bands, my favorite artists, or recent releases. Instead, I entrap random songs floating around the interweb into my poorly moisturized hands and replay them until I die.

Now, I know 2016 has given us many classics like One Dance (you’re lying if this wasn’t your jam), Famous, Bad Blood, etc, but today I’d like to introduce you to some gems I’ve unearthed in 2016.
