Music on AirPods with Apple Watch without iPhone nearby?

Since I have an Apple Watch series 4 cellular that can make calls and texts without my iPhone around, I like to leave my phone at home while I go on runs, while listening to music with my AirPods. But whenever I leave the house with music playing, the music stops because I went too far away from my iPhone with my AirPods connected. It seems like my iPhone has to be right with me whenever I want to listen to music through my AirPods. Is there a way for me to listen to music with my AirPods, controlled by my apple watch series 4 cellular, without my iPhone being around?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

On your iPhone Watch App, tap on Music. You can add songs/albums on your watch that should play using your bluetooth AirPods without your iPhone being near.
