Rounding the Bend

A playlist to refresh your vibe, wash away the grime of 2020 and get you to January 20th in one piece.

You asked for it, so here it is! Nearly four hours in playlist that sums up this in-between time, filled with uncertainty, anticipation and a zero tolerance level. The fact that we have made it through this year is cause for celebration, and hopefully another dose of music will help you get in the party spirit. Hence, the name: Rounding the Bend, which can mean we are almost there, but also means “going crazy” in British slang.

I you are looking for holiday music, never fear — I created The Christmas Playlist You Need and you can find it here. But, after the holidays are over, and you are ready to get back in the game, you can listen to Rounding the Bend on iTunes here or Spotify here.

I also wanted to give you all a quick “thank you very much” for all of your support this year! I don’t know how we got through it, but I know you all made it bearable for me. I will be taking some days off next week, for the first time in a long time, because it feels like it’s finally safe to do it. I’ll be back the Monday after this one, feeling refreshed, ready to go and counting down the days.

Merry Christmas to you all!

With love,

Amee
