What I’m Listening To: A Musical Time Capsule

Music has no expiration date—that’s one of the things I love most about it. Yet, it’s easy for songs to slip through the cracks if they’re not current chart-toppers or viral hits. Some incredible tracks, whether from a few years ago or from lesser-known artists, often don’t get the recognition they deserve.

That’s why I’ve created a new section on my blog called “What I’m Listening To.” (See top labels for desktop/ drop down menu for mobile)  It’s a space where I share music that’s resonating with me—whether it’s an underrated gem, a forgotten favorite, or a fresh discovery. Take a listen, explore the mix, and maybe you’ll find a new favorite too!
