Caamp – Lavender Days
Chetta – Been Here Forever
Chris Brown – Breezy – it’s amazing that Chris managed to beat the shit out of Rihanna and not get cancelled (come to think of it, wasn’t there a couple of girlfriends who he also hit?), anyway the one song I’ve heard here features Nigerian Afrobeats Wizkid and is a jazzy dream
Christina Perri – a lighter shade of blue
Cochise – THE INSPECTION
Conan Gray – Superache
Empress Of – Save Me – EP
GIVĒON – Give Or Take – If you didn’t know the soul singer before, his features on Justin Bieber’s “Peaches” and Drake’s “In The Bible” was the wake up call, the single is a goodie and the album might be major
Jack Johnson – Meet the Moonlight
James Marriott – Bitter Tongues
James Vincent McMorrow – The Less I Knew – I’m not claiming you HAVE to like one Irish indie folkie BUT if that should be the case by all means let it be McMorrow
Jimmie Allen – Tulip Drive – the African American country guy adds a fillip of r&b on his third album
Kayzo – New Breed
Luke Combs – Growin’ Up – non-offensive, superbly crafted (but not blood) red country to us, and if you are song person, he is pretty ace (though not on stage, here) and Morgan Wallen has nipped him at the finish line, yet this is a HUGE release – MOST ANTICIPATED OF THE WEEK
Lupe Fiasco – DRILL MUSIC IN ZION – I am not a huge fan of the 00s rapper, and the title song doesn’t live up to its name, but wow, what a name
MUNA – MUNA
Porcupine Tree – Closure / Continuation
Regina Spektor – Home, before and after – i’ve got a baaaad feeling about this one! Hope I’m wrong
Roddy Ricch – The Big 3
Soccer Mommy – Sometimes, Forever
Spacey Jane – Here Comes Everybody
Trixie Mattel – The Blonde & Pink Albums
Various Artists – ELVIS (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) – modern artists take songs that call back the spirit of Presley
Zola Jesus – Arkhon
