One of the best parts of the beginning of a new season is the change in the music we listen to. Music is a medium for expression, and the songs you listen to can determine the mood and vibe of the new season. I always create a playlist for each season and creating the soundtrack of the season helps me transition seamlessly. Fall is one of the best seasons for music, and I love to listen to songs that wrap me up in warmth during this time. With that said, here are my fall playlist essentials and recommendations.
