We have more than a few favorite artists. Yet we often scramble to suggest essential songs to help our friends tune into our top picks. Well, problem solved. Introducing the Tight Fives. 

A Tight Five playlist will be specific to one singer, band, or composer. The Tight Five will introduce the uninitiated listener to the awesomeness that inspires us, the fans, to love the art so profoundly. Tight Fives may not include the artist’s biggest hits – or even our personal favorites. Instead, the playlist will be a little snack that we can all use to share the love and inspire new fans to join in the experience.

Keep your eyes peeled for Tight Fives. I’ll try and drop one or two a month and see how it goes. Let me know what you think or if you have a Tight Five of your own, you’d like to share.
