From the Inbox: Songs You Need To Hear (Oct. 4, 2021)
If you didn’t hear about the Facebook and Instagram crash yet today then congratulations on being a real human being.

From the Inbox is the best place to find a refreshing and non-algorithm-approved collection of the latest new music favourites from around the world. With over 30 tracks, this week’s playlist will help you forget about the post you were going to make today.
Now, I’ll admit: I do partake in a bit of gatekeeping (sorry). If you want to uncover even more hidden gems from the past week, I would recommend subscribing to my Patreon to receive an extended version of the playlist every Monday – so subscribe now to access even more benefits!
I hope you enjoy the playlist (you can find it at the bottom) and skim through a few highlights below – don’t forget: if you enjoy something, share it around!
