Best New Music of 2018 ...so far...

This year has been a little crazy. I've continued to be busy settling into my new job and my new home in Philly. It's been hard to keep up with my weekly listening of new music, but I do my best to keep up with it. It's important to keep your listening fresh, and stay open to new sounds. There's always something new to discover. Even only six months into the new year, it was hard to pick my top 100 songs of the year so far. I did a lot of listening and reviewing on a long road trip to Maine to get it done. Hope you enjoy and discover something new to love!
