My favorite International songs from the past year.

Madeleine Peyroux turns J'ai Deux Amours into the kind of song.
A rainy commute, a late espresso, or a desk piled.
Strings and rhythm stay crisp rather than crowded.
Everything is crisp, bright, and a little theatrical.
The mix sounds warm and slightly weathered.
The whole thing sounds polished but playful and with a dry.
Christophe Maé sounds like he already owns , and “Ma vie est une larme”.
The guitars snap forward while the rhythm keeps a loose.
My favorite Mellow songs from the past year.
Paid-only
Fresh off the year’s gloom and holiday overdrive, it.
The guitar clicks and warms at once and with a dry fingerpicked pulse.
Sean Hayes and “Angel” feel like the kind of discovery needs: hushed.
Reed Foehl turns "Beautiful Life" into the kind of winter listen.
