One Album a Day is a project I started in 2025, when I decided to listen to one album every day that year. I have continued since then and started writing about it in 2026.
This is album #92 for 2026.
The best track on the album for me was: Best Of Me
I write about it on Substack if you’re interested. https://onealbumaday.substack.com/p/week-fourteen-2026?r=3gnlvt
