Sound In The Signals - Best Music Releases Of 2021 List (Mid-Year)
First, it seems like we’re getting to a better place in 2021 with the pandemic and that’s some much needed progress. This has been a great year for music. It might be one of my favorites in a while. I’ve tried to condense this list some. In doing so, I did have to cut a few things I really liked, but it leaves a little more excitement for the EOTY list.

Singles:
As the industry moves further into the streaming era we’re seeing singles hit streaming more regularly than just traditional album and EP rollouts. I want to take a moment to highlight some singles released this year, as well. Some of these singles will appear on upcoming albums from these artists, but others might be standalone singles. In any case, they don’t fit in the above list because either they won’t appear on an album or the album hasn’t been released by this mid-year point. I think it is important to highlight them because I feel these songs are part of the best music releases so far this year.
