L+B Playlist 18 – 2025 Favorites

It’s almost the end of 2025, so we’ve begun the fun yet laborious task of figuring out which of the many songs released this year we loved the best. Once again we got some new songs by beloved favorites and some total curveballs in our own worlds of discovery. Check out our list and see if there’s something you might have missed. (Note: Spotify is missing music because musicians don’t like ’em. We don’t either, honestly. We’re giving you the option, but consider listening somewhere else).
