With warmer weather just around the corner, it’s time to find some fresh tunes to put the spring back in your step. The snow is almost all melted. The days have gradually been getting longer. Every warm weather day seems to be a tease. Spring may not be here yet, but it’s certainly on its way.
In the spirit of the new season, I’ve compiled a mix of some songs that make you feel like you’re beginning to grow, too. Get ready to become the person who does their homework out in the sunshine and combats the rain with a polka-dot umbrella.
So are you finally ready to escape the winter blues? Here are my top spring picks and when to tune in.
