Here is finally some positive news! For New Age music, 2020 has so far been incredible. The age of COVID-19 might seem like a crazy time to release new music, but looking back we can thank Michael Whalen, Nicholas Gunn, 2002, Pam Asberry, and Max Highstein and others for giving us uplifting and fresh music during this trying time.
Indeed, when COVID-19 is a thing of the past, many of the titles on the below list will live on. “Celtic Fairy Dream” might very well be 2002’s best album to date, and Nicholas Gunn has struck gold with his new sound. I must also mention “A Better Life – An Introduction to the Mindful Music Association“, which was released back in January. Enya is, of course, still going strong, and many have turned to her music during this difficult time.
