Morning. Here are six new albums, all recently added to the Spotify library. I’m too lazy to write out the genres, but most belong to either pop, rock or singer-songwriter. The easiest way to sample new releases is by subscribing to the latest playlist, currently Spotinews 050, where I post at least one sample from every release I write about. Enjoy!
