About New Age

Music Facts: New Age

The Recording Academy defines New Age music as "generally ambient, exploratory and journey-like in nature, welcoming dissonance and consonance alike."
Major record labels jumped on the New Age music trend in the '80s.
Mainstream audiences are probably most familiar with New Age artists Enya and Yanni. Jon Batiste and India.Arie have also released New Age GRAMMY-nominated work.
