Juan Sánchez has in less than two years become a household name for New Age music fans, so it is no wonder that his new album Touch & Sound climbed all the way to the top on the November 2021 chart. Mark Werlein is a new name in the genre, but Blue Ridge Grandeur is, as the title implies, spectacular. No holiday music made its way to this month’s chart, but I’m sure the December edition will look a lot different in that regard. November 2021 was, as always, a terrific month to follow New Age Music!
TSODE is back too with Crossing Stars II and I’m sure many are happy to see Diane Arkenstone reenter the chart with her 2013 album Union Road thanks to John P. Olsen’s terrific review of the album – which is a repost from Newagemusicworld.com. Interestingly enough, none of the 2022 Grammy-nominated albums are present on the below chart.
I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Ambiente Solstice‘s Living Water. I guess it is safe to assume that we all will need to unwind and destress sometimes during the Holidays, and Ambiente Solstice’s is amazing! It is like a sonic bath.
