A new music mix for June

I've decided to become more intentional with my music listening and have started making playlists again, vs just allowing the Spotify algorithm to control my listening - which invariably means I listen to the same music over and over again. Here is a new music mix for June. I hope you discover something new! The cover artwork is a painting called Fighting Orchids by Janus de Winter
