From rediscovering Azealia Banks’ razor-sharp energy to getting lost in Kelela’s dreamy soundscapes, this month’s soundtrack had a little bit of everything. Here is my Top 3.

Game of the month: February. When I heard The Sims 1 was being re-released, I was ready to dive back into that chaotic, low-poly world of absurdity and charm. But then… reality hit.

Last year, I completely lost track of what I was listening to and how music shaped each month. And since music is basically my emotional compass, I figured it’s time to start keeping track.

Game of January? After half a year of playing on and off—and a staggering 12 years after I backed it on Kickstarter with a probably ridiculous amount of money—I finally finished Dreamfall Chapters.

Well, here we are. After years of not having a proper space for rambling, I’m officially back to blogging. Feels kinda surreal.
