Heavy Rotation: 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing

Each month, NPR Music invites DJs from public radio stations across the country to share the songs they can't get enough of. May's batch of tracks blurs rigid genre lines and explore several different shades of the human condition.

This month's playlist features Shannon Shaw's nuanced juxtaposition of neo-soul and garage-rock in "Broke My Own," Maria Grand's vulnerable take on jazz in "Imani / Walk By" and a cover of Talking Heads' "Once In A Lifetime."
