In an effort to reflect on the wonderful things that were created this year, we are hard at work putting together our list of favorite albums that were released in 2016! You can expect a list that is vibrant and colorful, full of light and darkness, ideas new and old, and representative of the vast array of creativity, emotion and style that makes this a beautiful world.

We invite you to share your top five lists in the comments below, through social media or via email. Please share a little about what draws you to these albums. We all hear different things in our music, and we are fascinated by those differences. Perhaps we will include some of these in our final list, with all due credit to the writer, of course.

Happy Listening!
