Below, please find ten records that sounded as good to me as anything else I heard. Music that could melt into a landscape music that had not been produced so much as conjured.

I found myself pulled toward albums that were elemental, tender, free-music that felt genuinely of the world and not like a mediated reflection of it. Those experiences colored the way I heard and metabolized new records. Recording artist Sean 'Diddy' Combs attends Diddys Vibe Magazine Cover Celebration and 'Press Play' Album Release Party at Crobar October 16, 2006. I found that my partner has a secret voice-higher-pitched, goofier, almost quaking with joy-that he uses when talking to a baby. In the predawn darkness, I listened happily as she cooed to herself in her bassinet. When I wasn’t using my stereo, I sang made-up tunes to my daughter-badly-and watched her discover her wild, throaty cackle. There has always been a lot of beautiful sound in the world, things so plainly lovely that it feels humiliating even to type them out: songbirds at sunrise, a creek after a storm, boots on a gravel driveway, a blooming bush beset by bumblebees.

Blige, Jamie Foxx, Keyshia Cole, Nas & more. Albums also features Big Boi, Ciara, Mary J. Includes the massive single Come To Me f/ Nicole Scherzinger & Tell Me f/ Christina Aguilera. I like that way of thinking-gently separating the idea of listening from the purposeful consumption of so-called music. Issued in a jewel case with clear tray and a 20-page booklet. I thought often about something the saxophonist Pharoah Sanders said, after my colleague Nathaniel Friedman asked him what he’d been listening to: “I haven’t been listening to anything.” He eventually elaborated: “I listen to things that maybe some guys don’t.

Or perhaps it was a delayed reaction to the psychic tumult of 2020-my wounded spirit forcing me to account more quietly for what we’d collectively endured (and are still enduring). I had a baby, in June, and took several months of maternity leave surely those events played some part in the decision not to have new releases blaring at all hours. The act itself-putting a record on to fill the room-felt significantly less compulsory to me. This past year, for the first time ever, my listening habits shifted. New Yorker writers reflect on the year’s highs and lows.
