Foreground is a speculative Apple Music playlist for music that won't sit politely in the background. Best described as "anti-elevator music," it demands your attention. If elevator music is meant to lower your heart rate, these tracks are meant to make you feel every BPM.

In a digital landscape oversaturated with content fighting for our attention, we wanted to feature the artists cutting through the noise. Whether through sonic friction, a sensory awakening, or crafty experimentation. The curation logic is simple: if a song could play in a dentist's office, it's banned. If it gets your neighbors banging on your door, it makes the cut.
