And the reality check alarm rings once again: 2016 is nearly upon us. Let’s take some time to reflect on what the hell we have done with with our lives in 2015. Do we have time to turn our luck around or make the best of our good fortune?
Everyone involved in the vicious inner circle of the music industry is going through the same dilemma. How did our releases do in 2015? How many productions are still on the back burner? Should we drop something now or wait for the new year? Tick tock. It’s time to put out new music.
Some of our faves are dropping new material before you eat your 12 grapes on New Year’s Eve. We’ve got the intel to put you up to speed.
Ojo: Keep coming back to this post. We’ll be periodically updating our picks with more info.
