Every other week, we update our running list of the songs we can't stop playing — tracks we love so much they're contenders for the best music of 2024.
On this week's show, those tracks include powerful reflections on regret from both beabadoobee and Bon Iver; deep sonic meditations from the composers Nala Sinephro and Jill Fraser; plus experimental cellist Mabe Fratti and a newly remastered, 20th anniversary edition of Jem's breakout album, Finally Awoken.
NPR Music editor Hazel Cills joins host Robin Hilton.
