A playlist can be both comfortable and curious. Familiar songs give it a centre, while new artists introduce voices you might otherwise miss. The trick is to make the transitions enjoyable instead of adding unfamiliar tracks simply to increase the count.
Choose a thread
Build around a mood, a type of vocal or an energy level. Then add one new song that fits that thread. It does not need to sound identical to everything around it; a little contrast can make the playlist more interesting.
Review what you actually replay
After a few listens, keep the discoveries you want to hear again and move others to a separate list. That keeps your main playlist personal. If you enjoy pop songwriting, try placing one of Mayia's original tracks between two favourites and listen to how it changes the flow. Let your own ears decide what stays.
