Best new music 2021

[IronWing]

My picks:

Kayhan Kalhor: Lost in the Desert Sky
This was a limited run concert video. It will be released as an album very soon. As much as it's a hipster douchebag move on my part to pick music you can't listen to right now, it is simply the best music to come out in 2021.

Arooj Aftab: Vulture Prince
A beautiful album crossing multiple genres

Duo Sabine Lutzenberger & Norbert Rodenkirchen: In vergessenen Toenen
While released awhile back, it wasn't until this year that one could actually buy it.

In forgotten tones / In vergessenen Toenen, Meister Frauenlobs Sangsprueche, by Duo Sabine Lutzenberger & Norbert Rodenkirchen

I think that my new favorite song for 2021 was "Industry Baby" by Lil Nas X. It has a catchy beat, and the lyrics are his statement to the world that he isn't just that one hit wonder who released Old Town Road two years ago.

It was probably also the best song in the Forza Horizon 5 soundtrack, which was sadly weaker than prior releases.

I'm not posting a link to the music video, though... that one is definitely NSFW 🙂

Not to knock your picks OP but if it's not sung in English get bored quick.
