    1. WILD is so good. I wish Sivan would make a little noise on the charts.

  2. Nice list! Glad to see mentions for Lamar, Björk, Melody Gardot & Sundfør. "If I Don’t Have You” by Tamar Braxton is new to me, I enjoyed it :) Also just listened to Walk on Water by Kat Dahlia, is that a sample of Time by Hans Zimmer? I like the 80s vibe of Hands All Over Me by Tamaryn-I'm adding it to my retro 80s youtube playlist :)

    1. Thanks! Apparently, Walk on Water is altered just enough so that it isn't a Time sample. But when Dahlia first heard the music for her lyrics, it was Time.

      Love that you added Hands All Over Me. Tamaryn's new album was so overlooked.
