Winter had a way of sitting in longer this year — but the music didn’t stop. In this episode of Seasonal, Not Silent, we break down the sounds that carried us through the colder months and recap the albums that defined 2025’s emotional run.
From reflective R&B and late-night soul cuts to rap projects that balanced hunger, healing, and honesty, we tap into albums like Finally Over It, Kush & OJ, KISS 6, Wild, Beloved, Pretty Idea, and Lustropolis — plus standout records and moments from artists like JID, Leon Thomas, Alex Isley, Giveon, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Amber Mark, Skillibeng, Russ, Offset, and more.
This isn’t just a music recap — it’s about how these projects hit differently when seasonal depression creeps in, why certain songs linger longer in the winter, and how soundtracks quietly keep us moving forward.
If you’ve been feeling it, pressing play anyway, or letting music say what you couldn’t — this one’s for you.
