Happy 2021! These are my favorite albums to write to that came out in 2020. This year I decided not to narrow the list to 10, but the first 10 on this list were my favorite. There was a lot of good writing music this year, but these are only the albums I listened to the most. I listen only to instrumental music when I write and find that it helps me focus. I hope it helps you too.
