A Different May 2016 (daily new releases)

#NewMusicFriday #DiscoverDaily

 

2016 week 18 : from April 29 to May 5

 

Selected and added : April 29 - 50 tracks

 

A Different May

 

April was a very prolific month for indie new releases. We start May two days in advance to fit with today New Music Friday. Discover the new alternative releases on Spotify before most of the other monthly/yearly playlists on the place, which sometimes, sneakily, use this one to feed theirs.

 

As usual this playlist is a carefully handpicked selection of new releases, including #NewMusicFridays releases and the other daily releases all along each week. This playlist is updated daily until the end of the month.

 

No compromise in this playlist. It's not because a song or an artist is trending that it will be added if it's not fitting what I like. As the usual subscribers know, this playlist is the best way to discover alternative quality new music in different genres as : Indie Rock, Psychedelic, Indie Pop, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Electro Pop, Electronic, Indie Folk, Folk Rock.

 

Note : As any selection, this compilation is totally subjective and represents only Soundofus taste and choice.
