If 2025 had a soundtrack.

Would it sound like scratching fingernails on a chalkboard or like the winds of change?

It’s pretty hard to tell from here, in the middle of a symphony of dog whistles and growling stomachs. But whenever times get tough, I get to writing and listening.

Each year, I create a soundtrack, and this year is no different. I’m sharing it here in case you need inspiration or a breath of fresh air. Whatever your dreams or challenges might be, know that there’s a little pick-me-up you’re owed. I hope one or more of the songs on my list sparks joy for you.

Clandestino – Isaac et Nora

Extrañaría Extrañarte – Carlos Cruzalegui

Point and Kill – Little Simz (ft. Obongjayar)

Isabella – CKay

Matrone – Baloji x Mayra Andrade

Discreción – Girl Ultra

Abrigo- ÀVUÀ

With that, I wish you well and good.

XO
