Music Monday 185 :: NPR Music's 30 Favorite Albums Of 2016 (So Far) 

Happy 4th of July Americans!

As summer moves into full gear, you might consider hitting refresh on your music playlist. I love my Backyard Funk BBQ playlist on Amazon Prime, but unbeknownst to me 2016 has seen the release of an avalanche of good music, at least that's what this NPR list promises.

I've only scanned the list, but if all else fails, there are a few on the list that I'm curious about:

• Anderson .Paak
• A-WA
• Corinne Bailey Rae
• Esperanza Spaulding
• Kanye
• Oddisee

Along with a few others. Thanks NPR for curating this list for this lazy listener. Let the beach party commence.
