Layla's 2021 Year-End List

Here's my 2021 year-end list, a way for me to share all the artists, albums, and songs that made my year! And also a way to look back on my Genius journey.
Each top is listed alphabetically 'cause it's just too hard to rank them... (and I couldn't put everything actually.)
