Artist News CMU Approved CMU Playlists
CMU Approved in 2022
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 21 December 2022
Every Tuesday and Thursday in the CMU Daily we highlight great new artists who we think are deserving of your attention in the CMU Approved column.
That’s a whole lot of new music to get your teeth into. As the year has progressed, many of those artists have gone on to wider acclaim, while others are on the verge of bigger things.
With the year drawing to a close, and CMU Approved on its festive break, now is a good time to reacquaint ourselves with all of those artists. But where to start? Well, it’s alright, you’re in the right place. We’ve taken every track featured in the column this year and collected them all together for you.
You can delve into all of them all in the handy playlist we’ve put together on Spotify here and YouTube here:
