2021 was a hectic year and music, although it didn't get as much attention in my life as I wanted with so much going on, was a great comfort to me through it all. It was a much happier year for me than the last couple, and I think that shows in this list. That's not to say 2021 didn't have its tough moments. It's all a part of this diverse group: the sorrowful and the joyful, the mellow and the upbeat, the digital and the pure. The theme of this group is beginning anew. I hope you find something you like.
