The Atlantic Bubble might be finding ways of getting back to normal but, obviously, some things are still the same. September is, historically, a busy month for music releases. With award nominations on their way, there’s always a big rush to get new material out in time. This year was no exception. We may have only skimmed the surface.
Here is everything we covered in September of 2020.
