Easing back into this whole “blog” thing, like an old lady into the ocean or any person into an extremely hot bath.

Since January is all about shedding dead weight and starting new beginnings, these are all songs off of various artist’s debut solo records. Specific, eh? Hope you enjoy! Continue reading
