2021 – A Year in Songs
We didn’t shake off the societal injuries sustained in 2020 as we had hoped, but many aspects of life returned this year, some bigger and better than ever.

It rounded out years later when it all came into picture, and the world of onlookers came to realize that– surprise!- she wasContinue reading “Chromatica – A Deeper Love”
Feature Friday: Tonight – Lykke Li
