My favorite Romance songs from the past year.

Mutemath lands “In No Time” like a welcome interruption: sharp.
Headphones on, pace up, and the week feels about one verse shorter.
Guitars jangle and pulse with a warm and open-throated snap.
Each layer stays clean, letting the bass throb and the vocals cut.
The chorus arrives fast, bright, and impossible to shrug off.
The production keeps its edges sharp, so every chorus pops.
The groove lands like a fresh arrival and all swagger and nerve.
Guitar pops bright against a loose backbeat and with a warm.
Guitars shimmer cleanly and the drums stay trim and steady.
Bombay Bicycle Club’s “Luna” feels essential right now.
The vocal sits on top like a post-card from the coast.
My favorite Classical songs from the past year.

3 in D-Flat Major, S.
From a desk lamp, a winter commute, or a quiet apartment.
Frédéric Chopin, Alain Planès land Preludes, Op.
1 in C Major, BWV 870 like a fresh start with spine.
