The February Playlist

Vol.2: He’s Only a Buzzkill If You Liked the Hat-and-Hair Combination!
_______
ONE of the biggest music news stories…
IN THIS IMAGE: Skott
of the week is the fact James Bay has dispensed with the trusted hat and his singer-songwriter, strum-it-and-pour-your-heart-out routine - upscaling to a (more) Electro, sexier version of himself. Away from the Bay of Rejigs crisis – there is a world of new music out there for the hungry masses! MGMT, PJ Harvey and Ezra Furman have fresh material out. There are cuts from Jorja Smith, Kendrick Lamar and Skott; Goat Girl, Car Seat Headrest and Ash. It is an epic and interesting week for music and, although there are few big-hitting artists out in the spotlight: some fantastic lesser-known acts have unveiled material.
I am excited seeing what the rest of February will provide us…
