Another month, another mixtape! It feels like a second ago since I posted the last one, but I was late with January’s.
I really, really love this collection of songs and am excited to share them. My hope is always that you will find something new, whether you read the whole blog, scan read or just listen to previews.
I know we are all short on time, therefore I’m going to star including my Essential 3 picks at the top for those wanting to read a bitesize edition.
So with no further ado, let’s dive in!

Yet, whilst always being a Pop staple in the midst of many Spotify playlists and still being played on radio from time to time, the song naturally faded somewhat from the public’s conciousness. That was until the release of black comedy psychological thriller ‘Saltburn’ at the tail end of 2023.

I gave up this blog about eight years ago because I felt I was spinning too many plates – work, friendships, family, hobbies – a blog felt like too much and at the bottom of the priority list.
Last year, however, I got a few emails through related to this site. It made me come back to have a look again. Aside from the nostalgia trip, I realised I missed it.
