2016 in music: big year for music with some amazing artists making a comeback!

We have no clue how 2015 just passed us by and we looked at it with our headphones on. Some of us had a great year and some of us were too busy looking and digging for great music. There’s no doubt about it that 2015 had some crazy ass music to offer and we’re still in the zone with our playlist. Now that 2016 is here, we think it’s time for a change in the playlist. And believe us when we say this, this year, the world of music is going to consume you for good. There are bands reuniting, bands making a comeback and the rest are just getting ready to leave you awestruck with their music.

Just a tip: keep a box of tissues handy because you might just cry out of happiness.
