Strays is a stunning collection of songs that showcases her musical range and lyrical depth. From the sweeping country ballads to the fractured indie rock anthems, this album is a powerful statement from an artist at the top of her game.

Ctrl showed that SZA, aka Solána Imani Rowe, was not someone who was to be confined by genre, and SOS doesn’t disappoint in this regard.

Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering is in many ways is a voice that only comes along once in a generation. Her vocals are on par with legends like Karen Carpenter. Her lyrics shine a light on the narcissism in our society, the overabundance of ironically immobilising technology and the loneliness of the universe.

Macie Stewart’s CV reads like the memoirs of a musician who’s about to enter the twilight stage of their career and not somebody who’s about to release their debut album.

‘Endure’ will take you to memorable corners. Exploring big emotions and revolutionary desires, what has been created is an album of the times.

You can’t distinctly categorise his sound, as he refuses to give in to the limitations of labels. CHAOS NOW* is just another reminder that Jean will do what he wants and give the middle finger to anyone who says otherwise.

Changes is not an unfamiliar sound but a new and explorative soulful jazz record, filled with futuristic inclusions that somehow push the stylistic boundaries of this band even further.

From the cinematic, gospel-backed anthem of Nobody Knows to the muted, lounge piano vibrations of A Lasting Place, the ten tracks on the album each have distinct moods, tableaus of Loyle’s mind state.

From the humorous attempts to get a decent haircut on ‘Barbershop’ to the nihilistic-rage-against-boredom ‘Offy’ - Mug Cake is certainly an EP not to be missed.

The band’s alt-pop is wrapped in that slightly dark-shimmering-reverb sound — like they’re playing in a Berlin club in a 1980s Wim Wender’s movie — which can be overplayed, ending up being the only quality to a lot of bands. This is not the case with The Big Moon.

Internal Radio is the soundtrack to a new era of Eerie Wanda that brings her creativity to new levels.
