I’m blown away by this week’s (May 3rd) Spotify New Music Friday playlist. By far the best week of new music so far this year. It has the most quality and potential hits all across the board. I’m usually happy if I like 5 out of the 100. For me to rate and feature more than a dozen tracks off one week’s selection is absolutely remarkable and exciting. Definitely gives me hope that there is more quality, originality and potential hits coming. Maybe labels were waiting for May to unleash their best? Maybe artists were a little more focused without their music on TikTok? Keep it up please.
