New year, new music! On the top of the January 2020 New Age Music chart is the Mindful Music Association’s “A Better Life” compilation. It will be exciting to follow what this association can do for this genre and musical expression in the years to come. Talking about expression; Michael Kollwitz & Walton Mendelson have some truly groundbreaking music for us in “The Stick EWI Project”. Another jewel on this month’s list is Scott Cossu’s “Memories of Water and Light”.
Enya is still going strong. Her Spotify playlist “Christmas Secrets” is doing very well, and her millions of fans do not seem to mind that it is a digital-only release. This recent success is why we don’t think 2020 will bring a new Enya album. But we got plenty of other new music, just check out the below list!
