How to make a mixtape.
The first song is crucial. It establishes intent. But it needs to be eased into. You want to build up to it. Set the tone without revealing the entire game plan. At seventeen you are still incredibly sensitive to these things. The first song says “I get you.” If you have any shared musical history start with that.
