Monthly Music Recap (February 2023)

itisleland.substack.com

Welcome back to the monthly recap of my top singles and projects. I understand that not everyone has the time to go through weekly new music releases, so this recap is a way for me to provide a summary of new music that everyone should check out.

I’m listing my top singles and projects each month in no particular order (other than alphabetical), so check out at the end of each month or the beginning of the new month for a monthly recap. Each month might differ in terms of number of entries, as this will depend on the number of new releases, which can vary from month to month. The number this month is 20 (twenty).

As part of the clean-up, my Musicboard lists for 2022 have been deleted. Don’t worry, you’ll still have access to the recaps here as well as the YouTube playlists. I have also saved the 1H2022 and whole year 2022 lists as an easier reference. With this change, the image links will also be switched from the Musicboard list link to the YouTube playlist instead of a separate button after the image.

Also, as a heads up, I’ll be skipping the April 2023 issue as I’ll be traveling around Netherlands and Germany for most of the month. Feel free to contact me via email or Discord (Leland #2878) if you wish to meet up during this time.

And there you have it, my top singles and projects for the month of February 2023. Again, my intention is to provide a summary so that people can check out music if they don’t have enough time to do so. This list also gives you a taste of my favorite genres, and I hope you enjoy every one of them like I do. Happy listening!


P.S. If you want to actually stalk what I’m listening to at any time, feel free to do so on my Last.fm profile here. You can also check out my Musicboard profile here, where I track my backlog (under Listen Later) and reviews for music releases. Don’t worry, the long reviews are here to stay and I do also crosspost the long reviews there too.

On a less music-related note, I have a Letterboxd account here in case you’re interested in seeing which films I’m watching along with my brief film reviews. I also have a Serializd account for TV shows here. If you're into reading, I have a LGBTQIA+ story published on Tapas, featuring an aroace agender character which you can check out here.
