I’m a huge audiophile. I have playlist for pretty much every mood I find myself in. I love a good playlist! Music can shift the atmosphere in a room instantly. A DJ with an incredible playlist can keep you on the dance floor grooving without you even feeling the pinch of those cute heels!
I shared my spring workout playlist last year here and I have since updated my Africancocktail Apple Music playlist here. Today, I want to share my current fave Apple Music playlists for 2021. Y’all these are all I’m vibing to as I get my year started.
