MAY… WE EXPAND YOUR PLAYLIST?… AGAIN?
Hey everyone! Welcome to essentially Part 2 of the May Playlist. This is our 8-song addendum, and as the name says, we are adding 8 more songs to the playlist to make it a complete 20-song playlist for May 2024. Expect these addendum playlists to happen at the end of each month as we add more music to the monthly playlist that we either missed to add before the release or if a new release happens after the monthly is released.

My name is Ed, follow my journey as I scour the online internet and pick the brain of the A.I. algorithms as I search for new music and new artists. In my already 9 years into my mission, I search for seldom played, independent, low streams and following artists, local and not so local, as I try to Expand My Playlist. Join me with my monthly Spotify playlists and blog posts as I try to also help you… Expand Your Playlist!

In this playlist, we have more music by Bands and Artists new to EYP, as well as some returning musicians, a couple of Chloes, and few collaborations. All this and a whole lot more in this 5th edition of the Expand Your Playlist, Playlist for May 2024.

Thank You and Enjoy!
Ed Gomez
EYP Creator
