Millennium Mixtape: Alex Lauria

Hope I don’t get crucified for the Lana Del Rey of it all ahah 😉 But this was difficult task to say the least ! I tried to ride the line between sentimentality and technicality when putting it together. I love projects that challenge me sonically or intellectually but also have my comfort records (that are usually more melancholic than anything haha). This being said, my favorite type of music will always be the kind that’s able to both expand my taste while still tugging at the heartstrings :’). I’m sure I’m gonna disagree with this ranking in a few days or hours, so don’t take it personally if your favorites aren’t there <3
