Playlist: A Non-Linear Journey Through the Last 4 Years

[Album Covers for Blonde, CTRL, Black Panther: The Album, Dirty Computer, Thank U, Next, and Ungodly Hour]

Last summer during quarantine, I was doing what any normal sane person wouldn’t do and that was spend every waking hour on Twitter. 2020 was an amazing year for music and it was fun seeing everybody’s music opinion when a new release occurred. That’s when I decided to have a bit of fun with the Twitter poll options. 

Starting with 2016, I decided to upload polls asking people what the best album of that year was. The way of choosing which albums would go up was based on a mixture of my views on the top albums of that year and what music critics were talking the most about in their end of year reviews. From those poll results, I created this playlist that I am now sharing with the Orpheus Review. Clink on this link or scroll to the bottom of this article to listen to the playlist. Happy listening!
