According to Pitchfork, the playlist is built around a straightforward mission: it is a compilation of songs that writers, editors, and contributors are "listening to obsessively." The publication explained that the driving idea behind the Selects series is that every track included is one its team believes is worth sharing with a friend, making it a direct recommendation from the music site's inner circle. "the simple guiding principle that these are songs worth sharing with a friend." :: Pitchfork

This ethos gives the playlist a personal, almost conversational feel, as if each entry comes with an implicit endorsement from someone who lives and breathes music criticism. The inclusion of a pop icon like Beyoncé alongside the experimental electronic act Liim and the Irish noise-rock band Gilla Band underscores the eclectic range that can emerge from a group of individual staff picks, as noted by both Pitchfork and the republishing blog carmandragone.car.blog.
