FLAIR: The 2023 Spring Playlist

What does Pink, a Kate Bush cover, a dancing Jason Mraz, and the color lavender all have in common? They all make appearances on my Spring 2023 playlist (natch) along with earwormy tracks from Ava Max, Sam Smith, Zara Larsson, Niall Horan, and SG Lewis, an artist I am currently obsessed with – thanks to his unskippable album, AudioLust & HigherLove. (I even threw in a throwback, Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters," in honor of Ray of Light's 25th anniversary.)

If I'm being honest, this year's seasonal crop is better than last year's. It's a collection of tunes that is working hard to help you transition out of the nasty weather we've been getting lately and into a warmer, sunnier disposition. So go ahead, log onto Spotify, and tap that heart button on this playlist to keep it close for when you need it – which will be all the damn time.
