Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week we have a collection of songs put together by Brooklyn-based artist Renny Conti.

Last month, Renny released his beloved self-titled album, one in which the songwriter has been working on and compiling for the past couple of years. With a keen eye for observational obscurity, these songs brush open the curtains to a world unfiltered to the warmth, heartbreak, trauma and humorous oddities that make life so unique. Following his release, we asked Renny to make a playlist, in which he shares;

These are some of my most favorite songs that I’ve found in the past few years. They’ve inspired me to play and be vulnerable in my music and I can always turn to these artists and songs for both guidance and clarity. 

Listen to Renny’s playlist here.

You can listen to Renny Conti out everywhere now.
