New Age Music Chart – September 2021

2071

Why do we need music? Looking at the September 2021 New Age music chart, the answers come easy: we need it to be inspired, to dream, to heal, to bring us together – and, my favorite, to create memories. On the list is also one other key feature of music; to preserve culture. River Songs’ Music Of The Wounaan is released to bring awareness to the Wounaan Tribe’s indigenous way of life. 

This month Keith Richie is no. 1 with the single Epica. His upcoming album, bearing the same name, will be released on October 15. The Song Gardeners have TWO titles on the list; their brand new album People Passing Through and the single Warrior of Light. If you need a positivity boost, look no further! Also, check out my recent interview with the people behind this band: Mary Gospe and Corrie Dunn.

Wayne Bethanis is down to no. 3 this month (after being no. 1 in June and August), but there is no doubt that Measures of Light has become one of 2021’s most popular New Age music releases. Remember also to check out David J. Peña’s new album Winds of Change.

In other news; the New Age Stars Radio stream will move to a new server in mid-November. The stream is ad-free and is available to audiences worldwide, thanks to SOCAN-licensing. With that ends 14 years at Live365.com (which, sadly, is only available in the US, Canada, and the UK). Now people everywhere can enjoy the channel!
