Music Overload: March 2020 Albums and Announcements

Hi friends! Thanks for taking time to visit my site, considering the recent political and social climate. Over the past month, not only have I’ve been all-the-way consumed with moving into a new apartment, but we are now officially quarantined as a nation – so I apologize for the extended hiatus! But there’s been so many juicy things happening in music that I have more than enough to ramble about going forward. We’ve got new videos out, albums dropping, singles being released, and much, much more. Let’s not waste any time, and let’s occupy our thoughts (and our ears) with something positive!
