It only has one verse, with eight lines, and the production is also very economical. The song is poetic, simple, beautiful, tragic and I’d go as far as to say, magical. It’s around that time that I would listen to the song incessantly because it expressed my own feelings better than I ever could. I recently went through a lot of profound changes, and was aware that a chapter in my life was coming to a close and I would never experience it again. The song just didn’t fit into the rest of the playlist and I had to think long and hard as to why I listened to it so often. But one song stood out to me: “Come Back” by Mustafa. That was reflected in my Wrapped 2021 playlist with a lot of Afrobeat and Afro House appearing on my top songs of the year. I hope to see him on my Spotify Wrapped next year and the year after that!Īt the beginning of this year, I vowed to do everything I could to get out of the funk of 2020, so I listened to a lot of upbeat music to try and ring in the good times. However, what draws me to his music the most is his authentic and meaningful lyrics. His newer acoustic songs are equally balanced by his later, more heavily produced music, meaning that he has a song for every taste. Based in Vancouver, Bryant has covered every genre from folk to pop to rock to alternative and everywhere in between. I first discovered him in 2015 and he has appeared on my Spotify Wrapped every year since. Check out the unique Canadian artists that we spent a lot of time listening to this year! Jon BryantĪ Canadian artist who hit number two on my 2021 Spotify Wrapped is alternative singer-songwriter Jon Bryant. At CanCulture, of course, there were many Canadian artists who made it into our team members’ Spotify Wrapped.

Since 2016, the streaming platform has shown listeners what their year looked like in terms of their listening habits.Įspecially after another year of COVID-19 restrictions, it was interesting to see what and who we had on repeat throughout the year.

The most exciting part of the year for Spotify users all around the world is in December, when Spotify Wrapped is released.
