I can say - with quite a bit of confidence - that none of these songs will ever be part of any of my (curated) playlists...

I only recognized Ed Sheeran, thought “oh that ginger guy with a guitar!”.

But that’s rather not the matter of knowing artists but that Apple has tasteless “DJs” who chose music for the playlist.

On the other hand, I gave a listen to all snippets and it… sounds as cringe as pop music from 2010-2012? Maybe that’s a hint we are finally getting our skeuomorphism back??
Or maybe I am being wrong, again
