Notable albums first released in 2021 include Promises by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra, Glow On by Turnstile, Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish and Sometimes I Might Be Introvert by Little Simz.
Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra built a continuous suite, Turnstile opened hardcore to new textures, Billie Eilish expanded her quiet-pop sound and Little Simz paired personal writing with large arrangements.

Our Pick of the Year: Promises by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra
Promises develops one short keyboard motif across a continuous nine-movement suite. Floating Points provides the electronic framework, Pharoah Sanders answers with restrained tenor saxophone and the London Symphony Orchestra enters gradually rather than dominating. The album's patience gives each small change real weight.
