2021 Music Year in Review

When people tell you there just isn’t good music being made anymore point them here. These are all the video’s I’ve deemed exceptional that have been posted to my YouTube subscriptions over 2021, with bonus corresponding Spotify playlists for your listening pleasure. Please note, not all songs are included in Spotify due to limited availability.

They are either artists I was aware of and super happy with their new or reposted work (YUSS’s); new to me, or low view count music that blew my socks off (Fave Find’s); or songs/music videos that were so out of the box they had to be called out (Provocateurs). With over 800 videos in total there is probably every genre known to man or beast here, and far too many artists to call out individually. With that much variety I promise you that you’ll find stuff you like. Enjoy!
