Music with an Impact — 2022
I’ve been compiling lists of personally impactful cultural artifacts, be it books, films, music for quite some time now. I mostly do it in my other blog, but I decided to share here some of the music that was released this year which resonated with me. And also inspired me quite a lot. Hopefully this will prompt some discovery journeys. And below is a bit of my verbiage on what influenced my decision.
If 2020 and 2021 were years where the heft of the pandemic and all that it brought forth, forced us all to confront fears and re-engineer our habits, 2022 was in a lot of ways, the letting go of an avalanche of ideas that were incubated during those years. And this year in particular such great music came out, from formidable artists I’ve grown to love such as Jacques Greene, to ones who have been staples during my entire life, such as Bjork. These are artists who keep expanding their own universe, simultaneously incorporating influences from other sources, while deconstructing them in such clever ways. So much to keep enjoying and discovering. Happy 2023 to you all.
