Monthly Mixtape – January ’25

Happy New Year!
Excited to be sharing my listening habits with you again this year—if anyone’s interested, of course!

This month’s mix is a bit all over the place. January always feels musically odd to me—there’s a lingering hangover from last year’s hits, but not much new to get excited about yet. I think that’s reflected in my listening habits over the past few weeks—an eclectic collection of songs spanning different eras and genres.

Monthly Mixtape: November ’24

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Hey Hey!

I’m back with my final Mixtape of the year. Sorry I’m late (as always!) – life’s been busy.

A short but sweet one from me for November, therefore there’s no ‘Essential 5’ in this post. Lots of songs on repeat but these were my standouts.

I’ll be posting music still but have something different planned for December… (watch this space!)

As always, I really appreciate every visit and read so thanks for being here, and let’s dive in!

I’m a little late again (sorry!). Life is crazy.
This is a really special set of songs for me and I am really excited to share these with you.

These blog posts typically take around an hour to an hour and a half to write so as always, I REALLY appreiciate every read / scan / visit. It makes it all worthwhile.

You can see my Top 5 at the top for a quicker version or read the longlist below.

Monthly Mixtape: August ’24

Reading Time: 7 minutes

This is soooo late. What can I say? The end of August/beginning of September is a busy one.

Despite August being my least busy month, I always find it’s the month I listen to the least amount of music.

Initially there wasn’t that much here, then Sabrina Carpenter released her brilliant new album and it seems to have bulked out quite a bit!

As always, a huge thank you for reading. It really does mean the world.

Monthly Mixtape: June ’24

Reading Time: 8 minutes

Howdy. I’m quite late again, aren’t I? Sorry. Life is busy but I love doing this!

From now on, I’ll be trying to keep the mixtape to 20 songs dissected, but other stuff I’ve enjoyed this month are at the bottom in the complete playlist.

Short on time? My Essential 5 are featured at the top!

As always, I really appreciate every read, scan or visit and hope you find some new music you love.

Monthly Mixtape: Feb ’24

Reading Time: 6 minutes

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!
