The year 2020 was a difficult year for most people in the world due to the pandemic. It was a hard year for me too, especially mentally. I listened to a lot less new music in 2020 than I did in the years before.
Nevertheless, on this last day of the year, I came up with a list of 20 albums that I enjoyed a lot this year. There are tons of albums that I missed when I look at the end-of-year lists that people post on social media. I will be interested to check them out and pick out a few albums that I haven’t heard yet.
For every album I included links where you can buy the albums, and a links to odesli that function as hubs to all big streaming services.
Enough with the introduction, and enough with 2020.
On to a new year and hopefully a better year!
