Playlist for the week of March 19, 2021

This playlist is devoted to reminding us to listen to music that is simple and joyful. Small joys that we feel when we hear big voices singing ballads, twinkly arpeggios, disco beats, and nostalgic hits. Just an unpretentious journey of jams that makes me feel happy in a time where we can appreciate happiness like it's a small miracle. —Holland Andrews
