This spring semester was my second, and, very sadly, final (class of 2025) semester being the music co-director here at WJCU, which has been a truly amazing opportunity for which I will always be grateful. Like last semester, there was an abundance of great music being sent our way that I really enjoyed combing through and curating in our music library, as well as spotlighting on the music department’s show, Songs from the Vault, which I plan to continue to co-host in the fall! I’m inclined to write reviews for many of these albums, but in the interest of time, here are my brief thoughts on a few personal favorites. Check them out!

The fall semester was my first semester officially being a music co-director here at WJCU, and wow was it chock-full of awesome albums that I had a lot of fun listening to and adding to our music library!
