week for music. There are some big releases from Taylor Swift, U2 and Gorillaz; some terrific offerings from RAYE, JONES and Young Fathers – a real stack of brilliant tunes. This is the first Playlist of November so it would be unavoidable were I to mention words like ‘sparkler’, ‘banger’ and ‘fireworks’ – I shall dispense from such easy punning. What I do know is there are enough solid songs for everyone to get their teeth into.
I am not sure how the rest of this month will play out but I am confident there are going to be a lot of great songs – as we head towards Christmas. Of course; the end of the year sees us all besieged by Christmas songs: just as well November is providing traditional, reliable and non-cheesy music for the masses…

Quite a bumper crop for the most refined and educated musical taste buds! That said; there is a mixture of mainstream gems and some intriguing underground slices – what you’d expect from a Playlist selection. I will continue to delve deep and ensure next week’s selection is as ripe and rewarding. It is down to fireworks displays and bonfires we head this week.
Ensure you are careful and take good caution when attending events – stay safe and warp up warm!
