And would you look at that?! Another month, and I’m late again!
April was a good month.
I wasn’t sure on this set of songs for you all at first but, as I’ve listened to them again and written about them, I’ve realised I’ve loved them dearly and hope you’ll find some you do too.
Thanks for reading as always,
Marc.

Happy New Year!
As in previous years, I’m sharing my favourite music of 2025 with you. I’m a little late this time, and whilst I know we’d all rather look forwards than backwards, I hope you’ll stay with me and take a journey through some of my favourite releases from the past year.
My verdict on music in 2025? Pretty good. Chart music, for me, was generally pretty naff – there were a lot of songs that seemed to sit at Number 1 for a lifetime, and plenty of huge hits that did nothing for me. That said, there were many independent releases I really enjoyed, alongside some absolutely brilliant album releases. In fact, I’ve surprised myself with some of my favourite singles and albums of 2025.
The blog is split into sections:
There are also long-list versions of each section – songs I loved dearly but which just missed out on the shortlists.
If you’ve visited my blog at all during 2025, I want to say a huge thank you. Each post takes me a long time, and even the briefest visit genuinely means the world.
Wishing you a wonderful 2026,
Marc
