I recently joined Groover, a platform that connects artists with critics like me for a small fee. Every day or two, I post a Spotify playlist of the latest submissions. You can find the newest one at the lower right of every page on this site. Since some artists also submit Soundcloud and YouTube links, I post those here. Today we’ve got plenty of new goodies — and a few older cuts — from all over the globe. If you want to send me a track, you can click on the widget at right (just below the playlist) or just click HERE.
