10 songs I like that you probably haven’t heard of

If you know me, you know I have an eclectic taste in music. While I do enjoy a fair amount of what’s on the radio, I also listen to a lot of international music, as well as some songs that are not widely known. If you’re open-minded and looking to add something new to your playlist, check out the 10 songs below.
