December 2020 (Special) Music Recommendations
This was a hell of a year for excellent new music! I think I've actually listened to more new releases this year than any other. I would guess I've listened to ~200 new albums and ~500 new singles. I sit at a desk with headphones on all day, then come home and put music on. It's safe to say I'm addicted.
Many of you know I co-host a radio program on Regina Community Radio called Operation Manatee (another big reason I'm always listening to new music). If you're familiar, first of all, thank you, and secondly, you might know I post a "long" list of best releases of the year, followed by my top five picks.
Well, I wanted to take that a step further for you, here. Below is my favourite track from each of my top five albums of 2020, followed by a recommended next listen to take you further down the rabbit hole. Might be the same artist, might not be. All good music. :)
Get out those headphones and enjoy!
