The Best September 2015 Playlist This Month

Posted on by

 

September has always had that schizophrenic nature of being placed in the middle of the year, yet it’s the month that represents the beginning of many new things in our culture.  September is the month that a new school year begins, it’s the month when TV shows begin their new season and new TV shows debut, and it’s the beginning of the award season for Golden Globes, Oscars and Grammys. It’s also the time of the year when record labels begin releasing their biggest albums of the year, gearing up for the holiday season.  There are more new album releases in the first two weeks of September than in July and August combined.  (I just made that up but it sounds accurate.)  To kick off this new start as we head into the end of the year, I’ve concocted a playlist for such a time.  I’ve chosen a wide variety of music from old artists, new artists, rock to hip-hop to dance and everything in between.  Some of these are new songs to debut this month, others are from albums that will be released in the coming weeks.  Sit back, enjoy, while watching the new NFL season.
