Fabelhafter Jahrgang. 2016 wurde damals ja hauptsächlich mit dem Ableben vieler Stars kommentiert. 10 Jahre später ergibt sich für mich ein Bild als Jahr der neuen Klassiker. Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Solange,... hier hat sich im Besonderen im R'n'B-Bereich eine Generation in die Musikgeschichte eingeschrieben. Total toll, das in der Rückschau zu betrachten.
