At just over three-minutes, “2020” is of optimal length

Features piano accompaniment; begins quite lightly, picking up intensity when it feels natural to do so throughout

A beautiful ballad, without question

Rossell has a beautiful, expressive voice; delivers quite a heartfelt, nuanced vocal performance

Thoughtful, encouraging lyricism

Petition to God for help leading into the new year after a chaotic 2020

No glaring cons

Memorable lyric:

“So, Lord I pray, with all my might
Help us see each other...through your eyes
Let's take the red, take the blue, wave the white, call a truce
Build a bridge across the line drawn through this country
Before hindsight's 2020.”

In Closing: Rossell delivers a gorgeous, thoughtful country ballad in “2020” that seeks God’s guidance and grace following a turbulent year and entering into 2021.
