The first month of the new year should always bring new music to us all, and it definitely did for me! Post-Christmas blues disappeared with the discovery of more artists I’d not yet heard before or new albums that I took my time at getting around to hearing. And of course the radio played some new songs exclusively for the first time…thank gawd for new Ed Sheeran! Take a look and a listen below at what I’ve been listening to in January.

I hope you find new music to add to your playlists.
