I really enjoy the Arlo Parks and Jazmine Sullivan a lot and thought Shame was good as well

So it begins. Oh dear...
Seriously though, happy to begin again with already the fifth year of doing this playlist. Here is the first one of this year:
Yes, the first playlist of 2021 starts with a song named Hurt. A prophecy of things to come?

Re: MCCh 2021 (01) January 31

I really didn't like the new Shame album. Cant stand the guy's delivery and lyrics.
