Radio Music Gallery 20 – Roxanne Fernandes

Electronic

Comment must not exceed 1000 characters

From Roxanne: "The songs in this playlist are tickled with bedroom jams, synthy-pop, folksy, alt, electronic r&b (and other fusions and experiments), their convergences existing in a timeless space. Washed over with memories of who we have been, who we are, who we’ve loved, and what we’ve lost, we are confronted with the intention to honour that we exist in multiplicities. We are an accumulation of our memories: outpourings of love, deep-seeded sorrows, and hopes for the future."
