My Favorite Music of 2016
Posted: December 30th, 2016 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments
Sometimes I hear people say music isn’t as good as it used to be. Surely they can’t be making an effort to listen to new music because every year is full of musical goodness. 2016 saw us lose so many great artists that my heart felt like it was breaking over and over throughout the year, but it also gave us an incredible amount of amazing music from new and established artists.
