It seems that musicians are continuing the trend of treating September as the month of major releases. Whether that be to make the 2027 Grammys cutoff at the end of the month, to have new material out during the busiest time of the year, or that they are just feeling like doing so, we welcome it. The more music to choose from, the better, after all. So, it’s time for a playlist refresh with these song and album picks from local and international artists below.
