This week on Vinyl Verdicts, we’re creating The Graduation Mixtape — songs about freedom, growing up, moving on, and stepping into whatever comes next.
Some songs capture the excitement of finally getting out on your own. Others hit that weird mix of nostalgia, fear, independence, and possibility that comes with closing one chapter and starting another.
From late-night drive anthems to songs about figuring life out one mistake at a time, Chris & Rachel each bring three tracks to swap, review, and rate on the Vinyl Verdicts 1–5 record scale.
Because let’s be honest… nobody really knows what they’re doing at first.
🎓 What song reminds YOU of graduation, growing up, or starting a new chapter?
