That Year in Music 2016

That Year in Music 2016
November 22, 2024

In the kaleidoscopic world of music, 2016 was a year marked by both triumph and tragedy, innovation and nostalgia. From the UK to the US, artists pushed boundaries, broke barriers, and made us question what it means to truly connect through sound.

In Britain, the airwaves were filled with the haunting melodies of Radiohead's "A Moon Shaped Pool" and the infectious beats of The 1975's "I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It." Over in America, Beyoncé's "Lemonade" took the world by storm, sparking conversations around race, gender, and empowerment.

But 2016 wasn't just about the music - it was also a year of notable births in the industry. British singer-songwriter Dua Lipa was born, destined to become a pop powerhouse. Meanwhile, American rapper Lil Uzi Vert came into the world, setting the stage for a new wave of hip-hop.

In the UK, the music scene was buzzing with excitement as the BRIT Awards celebrated the best in British and international music. Artists like Adele and Coldplay took home top honours, cementing their status as musical icons. Across the pond, the Grammys honoured musical legends like David Bowie, whose final album "Blackstar" captivated audiences with its ethereal beauty.

2016 was a year that brought us together through the power of music. Whether we were dancing to Calvin Harris' "This Is What You Came For" or singing along to Chance the Rapper's "Coloring Book," there was something for everyone to enjoy. And as we look back on that year with fondness, we can't help but feel grateful for the memories and the music that brought us all together.
