Genre-blurring singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Cautious Clay has unveiled his new album, The Hours: Morning. To celebrate, the musician has curated an exclusive playlist for MILKY full of songs to soundtrack the morning hours.

“I wanted to create something that felt like a reflection of what mornings are emotionally – how they can be quiet, restless, hopeful, even tense,” he shares. “Each track is a snapshot of a different feeling I’ve experienced during those early hours, and I built the project to flow with the rhythm of the morning itself.”
