This week’s additions to our collection of wellness-inspired tracks encourage us to reflect on life’s deeper questions: What do you do when life shifts unexpectedly? How can we embrace our fears? And, in the grand tapestry of life, what truly matters most? We find comfort and potential answers in the new music from the talented Patrick Watson, the vibrant pop group The Beaches, and the enchanting rhythms of Fever Ray. We also enjoy a heartfelt exploration of young love from Ethel Cain, a whisper of hope from Deb Talan, and much more.
