We
are half way through the year, and what a year it has been so far for new music
with some great albums released, as well as some great tunes. So I thought it
would be a good time to take stock and list what has impressed me so far in
2015 both album-wise and song-wise. Along with my 2015 album and song list, I
will also mention what is coming up in 2015 album-wise.
