Playlists are wondrous things but isn’t it getting to a point where you’ve made so many, you’ve started making playlists for playlists?
Now, us music fans need to be ruthless and pick a song to define occasions…okay maybe two.
We’ve asked the hottest British bands of 2016 to do just this and collaborate on a ‘Music To Live By’ soundtrack.
Manchester band Blossoms kicked things off with this eclectic collection, then South London duo Formation provided us with this story of tracks.
Now, we’re lucky to say the sublime Frances has provided us with our third instalment.
