It’s good to appreciate amazing things — like music— every so often.

Especially when they make time fly by in this 2020.

I am Zuchu — Swahili

Release: April 2020

7 soft, sensual, and slow serenades from Zuchu — amazing newcomer.

Her artistry through Swahili yenye ustadi* is definitely more than worth noting.

If you like Mbosso, this album might tickle your fancy.

Best album starters: Raha na** Ashua.

Fleur Froide — French

Release: December 2020

Tayc, Tayc, Tayc…a favorite guilty pleasure.

Best album starters: N’ypense, Vous deux, & 5 ans.

Note: There might be more sadder undertones to these ones compared to last year’s temptations in NYXIA. Tome.

King of Love

Release: June 2020

17 creative, youthful, and playful beats from Kizz Daniel — he never disappoints.

Even when expressing the plight of the African boychild navigating love in this Economy. Well…his Economy. He is just that relatable.

Best album starters: Padi, Yapa, & Tempted to Steal🤔(choosing was a toughie)

Apollo

Release: August 2020

Heartfelt, open, and easy listening music from Fireboy DML. Again.

Best album starters: Spell, Go Away, & Friday Feeling.

Best album starters are always up for debate. You decide?
