hi, friends. you might’ve noticed a couple months ago that we changed years. so, here we are: time for another year of two in review.

i can’t remember a more difficult time narrowing down a list of songs for a two in review than this one. there’s been an absolute deluge of really great music to start off 2018. even in the last 24 hours after i had already finalized the mix, there were a couple new tracks that were released that i seriously considered bumping other tracks so i could fit them in. if january and february are any indicator of the year we’re gonna have in music, it’s looking like 2018 will be a banner year.

alrigtht, so let’s get to it. here’s the lineup for the january/february edition of two in review:

1. sucré: inside [from TBA]
2. børns : second night of summer [from blue madonna]
3. matt and kim: forever [from almost everyday]
