Inspired by Jedda and in the spirit of sharing and discovering great music, I also wanted to write a bit about my Spotify Wrapped this year.
Every song is linked, so you can directly listen to it on Spotify. Enjoy, and let me know if you also like one of these!
Top Songs
1. Lost My Mind – BUNT., Elley Duhé
This song was already in my 2023 Wrapped and climbed even higher this year. I simply like BUNT.’s style (as you will also see later), but this one is my absolute favorite track of his. It also reminds me a lot of my Seoul trip last year, as I’ve listened to it a lot there while I was strolling through the bustling streets. Maybe that’s the reason I had this one on repeat for over a year now.
2. 9 bis 9 – SIRA, Bausa, badchieff
I don’t listen to German music particularly often, but 9 bis 9 is a track that just gives me good vibes every time I hear it. It sounds like the feeling you get when you spend a warm summer evening with good friends to me.
3. Solo – Myles Smith
Myles is my artist discovery of the year. My favorite track of his is actually Stargazing, but it came out after Solo, which was already in my heavy rotation by then. So I can only recommend that you check out both songs ;)
I’m actually going to a concert of his next spring and am really looking forward to it! His shows seem great, from what I’ve seen so far.
4. Clouds – BUNT., Nate Traveller
Another great song by BUNT., although not as special to me as the first one in my opinion. Still, a very great choice for picking up the pace when going for a run.
5. Somewhere Only We Know – Keane
This one is quite the outlier in the list, since it’s already over 20 years old. I rediscovered it because of this one great montage in Beef (one of my favorite series this year) and it has been in my heavy-rotation ever since. You probably know it as well, but it never hurts to re-listen to great songs.
