From the tumultuous political nightmares to the unexpected stock market takeovers, this first month into 2021 certainly wasn’t the first breath of fresh air we had been naively hoping for. With all of its frantic twists and turns, History has not been keeping still lately and we certainly can’t blame you for losing track of this years’ freshest releases. Although January is traditionally a rather quiet month for music, this past month proved to be a refreshing exception to the rule and we at NRW decided to compile our favourite releases from the past month.
