WRS Music Review 2011: Mark Coles

With so many albums released around the globe these days, it can’t be easy to filter through it all and pick just five songs that stand out as the year’s best, but WRS’s Alex Helmick has asked our resident music experts to do it anyway. Today, Mark Coles, host of the internationally syndicated music show The Shed: A Whole New World of Music, shares his top tracks from 2011:



MARK COLES’S TOP 5 (+1) FROM 2011:

FAVORITE OF THE YEAR: Egyptian Project’s Yo Amar (or The Moon) from a soon-to-be-released debut album. Due in the New Year. (Egypt/France)
