Bailey's Listen List: Small singers' songs

I have over 4,500 songs downloaded, but do I still look for new music every week? That was a rhetorical question, of course I do. You should too, but just in case you didn’t this week, I’ve hand-picked some new songs by small artists you can gatekeep from your friends.

“Better Friends” - Abby Cates
