Another year goes by and it was... well, definitely different than the last one but still quite weird. The second consecutive Covid year was a rollercoaster ride of emotions where hope and despair went hand in hand and we're surely finished yet.

Today, we're honouring the fifty records that meant the most to us in the past twelve months.
As this decade is approaching its end it is time for a little reflection on all the great music we experienced over the course of it. Of course, this is NOT an ultimate and universal Top 100 list. It simply can't be but these are the songs you should definitely give a spin before the decade is over. The second bunch of tracks include Beyoncé, Warpaint, Chet Faker, The 1975, Wolf Alice, Amen Dunes, Moderat, London Grammar and more
Sometimes, reality hits you hard. We are facing a new reality on a daily basis and not uncommonly, we struggle to navigate through it all. Looking for guidance. The reality of today can change in an instant. What felt real a moment ago, might only be a glimmer in the distant past seconds later. Change comes along. Inevitably.

Easier said than done, for sure. NBHAP author Annett Bonkowski asked an expert on that field for answers.
