Top Music Picks of 2020
Considering I only went to one concert this year (Temples at Webster Hall, the night before my birthday), I’m happy there’s been a ton of amazing new music released. It’s certainly kept me semi-entertained during this intense and emotional year.
This year was comprised of many collaborations on songs and albums of some of my favorite artists. I long for the day that we can safely see all of the below artists live in concert.
Here’s my favorite music of 2020 -- hope you enjoy! Happy holidays, wear a mask and stay safe.
