All but two of the following playlist are tracks from albums released August/September 2016. I usually try to start with an upbeat number but the first three tracks here are quite slow. I’m really enjoying the James Blake album and I reckon it will be in my top 5 albums for 2016 unless we have an extraordinary excellent quarter 4 and I know my expectations are high for the new Agnes Obel due October and both the Lambchop and Efterklang with Den Sorte Skole released in November. I’ve added a couple of old songs towards the end – two from a list of many that I consider the ‘best’ pop songs released. Enjoy.
