Natalie Gelman – 2020 (2020)
Most people were happy to see the end of 2020, saying farewell to everything the year encapsulated.

‘2020’ strums into life with a blast of folk goodness before you bounce to the melody Gelman creates.

The shuffling beats that come in for the chorus bolster this feeling as it matches the lyrics. The easy feeling of the music is a wonderful goodbye to a year that has been hard for a lot of people.
As the melody bounces along its merry way, Gelman’s dulcet tones smoothly draw you into the goodbye of the lyrics.

The chorus has a fun vibe to it while making you want to sing along. The lyrics help you say farewell to all the bad of the year while offering a sense of hope of the future.
