It’s a time of uncertainty and stress right now for people all over the world. As we socially distance and quarantine ourselves, it’s expected that we deal with feelings of anxiety and loneliness. But it’s also good to remember that we’re all in this together and music can certainly help with that.
For that, we’ve curated a playlist of Chill Songs to Relax to at Home with music ranging from afro-jazz, funk, alternative, and R&B that can help you relax but also maintain perspective during these days.
Listen to this playlist on Spotify and Apple Music.
