HAPPY NEW YEAR! Though the first week of January has already flown bye, with celebrations and disappointments alike (yes I'm looking at you foul tasting vegan Belgian hot chocolate), I have high hopes this year is going to be a-ok. Or, at least, not yet world-ending apocalyptic bye-bye love, bye-bye happiness.

I always see January as the beginning of the beginning. That's to say: January is the perfect time to comtemplate about everything that could be, to shake off 2018 and to get a big white sheet and some crayons and simply go wild. Whether this takes shape as a childlike imagining, a rainbow explosion or a murderous monstrosity is up to you. This month's playlist reflects this idea of thinking about thinking and re-thinking our thinking. May the future be coloured bright! 🌈
