Spotify playlist

Dear students,
Most of you like music and you listen to music in English quite often. That's why we've created our very own Spotify playlist with songs that we use in class, songs we like, songs you sent me, etc. The playlist is open but there's only one condition: the songs have to be in English (and they have to good too;)
The name of the playlist is not that original: Lestoenglish Songs.
What are you waiting for? Go and enjoy some great songs...
See you around.
