week 29 (many weeks later): "big in 2021"

[ after a more-than-three-month pause due to an unplanned, lengthy trip back to the U.S., two months of of a laser-focused job search, and a hard first month at a new job (yes, I finally found one!): weekly playlists are back! (well, that is the intention, at least; we'll see how it goes). for this grand return, we have a multi-genre roundup of artists that I think will be making lots of noise (literally and figuratively) this year; enjoy! ]
