Now that 2011 is officially a thing of the past, it’s time to look ahead at what this brand new year has to offer us music fans. 2011 will be tough to top, but with a handful of my favorites all set to release new material, 2012 is shaping up to be a another great year. So without further ado, here’s some of the music I’m most excited for in 2012…and please let me know who i’ve overlooked.
[p.s. apologies are in order. this post was originally planned for New Year’s Day, but between recovering from NYE festivities and holiday travels, it’s out a bit later than expected.]
