Here is your weekly antidote to background music, where we lean in, listen close, and find what’s truly worth hearing. And there's plenty of gems worth hearing in here, with a special focus on remarkable singers like Rufus Wainwright, Theo Bleckmann and Terry Callier.

The playlist also features Tineke Postma, Anne Mette Iversen, Theo Croker and Sullivan Fortner.
