As nights get longer and days are shorter we spend more and more time indoors. We take the time to unwind from the non stop pace of the rest of the year. We take this time to examine our choices and relationships. Most importantly we turn inwards and reflect. What better way to do that than with my latest playlist for the super fresh smelling, super home made wellness brand Merkaela. It's my 5th curated playlist for this beautiful mission and it's one of the most complete ones.  

It starts out with the mysterious yet positive vibes of a favorite song of mine at the moment, Second Heartbeat by Shy Girls. It's the perfect cut to start this Winter playlist with. The playlist continues with the awesome band BadBadNotGood and the classic Gotan Project. It continues segueing inward with smooth tracks by Sade, Chris Staples and Snacks . Once we reach Frank Ocean's incredible Nights we are ready to explore deeper and aren't afraid to experiment a bit. There are plenty of surprises from Junius Meyvant, Moglii and BJ The Chicago Kid. 

Personally, I loved listening back to this playlist. I love the progression of the music here as it was the perfect analogy to winter, the solstice and a feeling of reflection. You can enjoy it by clicking here, streaming it below or by going directly to Merkaela.com

Till next time,
