At Spatie, each one of our team members loves music. Scattered across our office are a couple of HomePods. Everyone in our team is free to stream his favourite music for others to hear (of course at an acceptable volume so everyone can still work).

In this blog post, I'd like to reflect on the things I did in 2020.
These are my 10 favourite albums which were released in 2019, alphabetically sorted.
