🎆 2021 Picked - best music of the year
So this is it. 2021 is almost over and I gotta say, that I am pretty stoked by the musical output of some of my most beloved artists. So I came up with a Spotify-list full of amazing music from 10+ genres. 21 was a great year for Jazz in all its forms, there were some serious Disco&Soul releases, while women are more and more taking over international and german rap and it’s about fu***ng time. In general there is loads of striking HipHop, that got released this year. Another spotlight focusses the Beatmaker scene, that once more proved its innovative and forward looking musical force. Then there is a very exciting Postpunk wave still washing the shores of my music island, while old rock masters brought out some pretty decent music. Oh and of course there is a lot of great weird pop music, that also made it in my list, while electronic music is represented on a slightly smaller scale than usual. This year has also been great for music from the African continent, while it is impossible to narrow it down to one genre, since Rap and string gods from Mali, afrodiasporan Jazz and a Nigerian legendary drummer brought out outstanding music.
