i scheduled this post ahead of time, so most of the new releases that came out on the 31st will be included in next month’s roundup.
Will definitely check out some of this like BY. ALEXANDER coz I loved his collaboration with Tanerelle on Falling. Plus, I'm back here to say that I've loved On the Lips. It's been album of the month
