April Playlists: Diversity Month, Bloom, Green & #MeToo

Spring is all about renewal. 

A celebration of fresh starts. Diverse beauty and wonder emerging all around us. 

The hope of healing. The hope to carry on. To put in the work. To keep going.

We cover the whole spectrum in April here on Ascent, weaving together FOUR different playlists into a unique blend of music that's sure to elevate your mind and comfort your spirit.

From the perfect springtime vibes in our Bloom collection to centering the voices of women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ artists in our Celebrating Diversity Month playlist, as well as the eco-conscious grooves of our Green playlist, calling each of us to get our hands dirty caring for the planet in honor of Earth Month, and the sobering, truth telling power in our #MeToo playlist in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, April is about holding space for beauty and truth right alongside one another.
