This is a selection from my Playlists newsletter where I publish playlists of songs that have come my way, served to inspire me, or are just a darn good bop.

If you create a free Substack account, you’ll be able to subscribe to all of my different content feeds in addition to latest from the Expat Files (see here for help). If you go one step further and join me on the Substack app, you’ll see notes and fun things like cat pictures pop up!
Thanks for the shoutout - playlist added! 🤘🏽
