It’s been over a year since I sat down and put together a playlist of my favourite tracks to share here on my blog. That changes now! Midway through each month of 2018, I will post my ‘finds & faves’ – a playlist of my favourite new tracks of the month and some oldies that remain oh-so-goodies.

January – the start of a new year. It’s a month that brings with it new opportunities for growth, self-discovery, self-reinvention and adventure. The same opportunities are granted to our favourite artists. Example: Justin Timberlake’s release of “Filthy,” the lead single off his upcoming album that has a ‘futuristic’ sound quite different from his previous work. Some critics have called it a ‘love it or hate it’ track – I love it.

Many of my ‘finds’ this month reflect that ‘newness’ – not only because they are new releases, but because they symbolize a fresh start in the artist’s career. Not to tease, but I’m excited to share on my thoughts on “She Loves Control,” a track off of Camila Cabello’s solo debut (read more below!)

My ‘faves,’ on the other hand, are all over the map, as a quick scroll through my music library will further prove. Some share messages that are worth keeping in mind heading into 2018, while others are simply great songs that I’m vibing with this month.

Scroll down for the full playlist and some highlighted tracks.
