The Concept

This monthly report is a curated mix of my December listening sessions, blending the latest releases, personal favorites, and tracks I’ve explored for articles. It’s a snapshot of my musical journey, where personal tastes, fresh discoveries, and deep dives collide into a rich sonic experience.

Personal Highlights

February was short, but my listening hours skyrocketed. This month was all about singles, though three standout projects stole the spotlight: NAEKO’s Heiwa: La Plaine—a killer fusion of 2000s rock, hyperpop, and rap, even sharper than his previous work. Kill Jasper’s Who Killed Jasper brought a fresh twist to the US rap scene with bold production choices, and The Last One by Headie One was on heavy rotation to wrap up the month.

Beyond albums, Elyon’s Le Deuil de Tout Ça was on repeat, along with several gems from Italy’s Sanremo 2025 festival. Plus, I took a deep dive into classical music and kept refining my 2015 throwback playlist, dropping in March.
