Friday Roundup #37

Welcome to Arpeggio, especially if you're joining us for the first time!

Since I started Arpeggio in March 2020, it has been a journey of exploring new music and sharing it with a growing community or readers and listeners. Now, nearly four years later, my intention is simply: to write less and let the music do the talking, to share great music with you once a month, and of course, to not flood your inbox. 

With that said, here is every song shared on Arpeggio from 2023. This playlist encompasses a diverse mix of Brazilian Reggae, Indie Soul, Instrumentals, House, R&B, Tejano and more. 

I rely on word-of-mouth to grow the readership & listening community, so if you’ve enjoyed Arpeggio, consider sharing the newsletter with fellow music enthusiasts. 

Now, let's dive back into our regularly scheduled programming, bringing you the best new music every first Friday.

Friday Roundup is curated with one single, one album, and one behind the scenes look into a recording artist's creative process to listen to at your leisure over the weekend. The idea is to provide frontline music and a look inside the creative process with both artists and music enthusiasts in mind.
