The first Rhythm Passport Presents of the year is finally out and to start 2023 in style, we seized the opportunity, space and time given us by RTM.FM to do a quick review of 2022 through some of the most interesting albums released in its 365 days
We travelled back to January 2022 and month after month, album after album, and song after song, we shed a light on some of our highlights of the year.
So, turn the pages of your calendar back of 12 (now 13) months and enjoy the music…
