Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [1/1 – 1/4]
It has been 2026 for, like, three seconds and already, we have soooo much good music to listen to. I am building a playlist, as per usual, which you can check out here. However, I am going to share new releases a bit differently this year.
Instead of doing bi-weekly posts with everything I’ve found during that period – and twelve separate playlists, one for each month – I will be hitting the highlights each week and adding all songs to a single 2026 playlist. I will share as much as I can to my Facebook page, but I intend to share posts directly from the musicians/artists rather than doing my own. Shares and likes help them, and that’s my main goal.
So here are five songs that were released this week that I absolutely adore. Please give them a listen and add them to your playlists!
