Songs for Every Day
I’ve been wanting to release a new mixtape for a few weeks now. Because of the unpredictable weather here in Charlotte, I keep going back and forth between my Sunny Day playlist, and my Rainy Day playlist, trying to decide which one I should put up. Then I realized, I can just pair them together, so that no matter what kind of weather you’re experiencing, there’s a perfect jam to get you through it.
I’d describe the feel of each mix to you, but honestly I think the title says it all.

I think a lot of my content thus far has been aimed at a male demographic, but I think these two mixes are particularly geared toward my female audience. However, I’m sure you’ll like it even if you’re not of the female persuasion.
Note: the photography is not my own. The art for ‘Sunny Days’ features a photograph by Anna Aden, and the art for ‘Rainy Days’ is a photograph by someone named Ashton Rae on Flickr. They’ve both got a bunch of other great stuff.
