I was struggling a lot figuring out which song I wanted to follow up ‘My God Has a Telephone’ because I didn’t want to drastically change the mood. On the other hand I have been looking for an opportunity to include Sonder or Brett Faiyaz on this playlist because they became such a integral part of my music life. Their song Too Fast was featured on the promo for season 2 of Atlanta, which spiked their listeners on all platforms.
Their album ‘Into’ is in my top albums of 2017 and it is all because the combination of the music and Brett’s voice is so sensitive, sad, emotional and longing in the most perfect way. You can’t help but get lost in your thoughts with his voice in the background.
In a way it feels futuristic, but nostalgic at the same time.

About the Curator - Ashlee Villasenor
Ashlee Villasenor is a senior at Austin College who watches too much Netflix and listens to her music a bit too loud. Her passion for music stems from a childhood full of sleeping on chairs at concerts to singing at the top of her lungs with her dad in the car to every new album he bought her. She's a Tumblr obsessed vegetarian, an animal-lover, a "let's share our feelings through music" kind of girl, who you will never catch without her journal and her pen in hand.

I love going to concerts and not knowing much about an artist or their music. Because I get to experience it live.
Love At First Sight – The Brobecks

This feels like a song I would have played on repeat while I was in middle school.
The difference is that in middle school I would have said love was real, right now that’s hard to believe, especially at first sight.
