Things I Love
- I accidentally stumbled upon this amazing album while trying to find something new to listen to on Spotify. I’ve never heard of the pianist, Hania Rani, but her debut album Esja is incredible. I’ve had it on repeat for days and days. The music is complex, motivating, deep, and beautiful all at the same time.
