2010 Releases
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Time to start looking ahead. In with new, out with the old.
The best is yet to come, in my opinion. Thinking about all of the new music I will get to hear this year gets me excited. Some of my favorite artists are releasing new albums this year..what will they be like? What new direction(s) will music take in 2010? What will be the trends? What artists will work together? I spent the morning combing through some websites looking to see what is ahead and have started a neat little list to keep track of release dates. Sharing it below:
