Rhye
Home
Loma Vista |
|
| Written throughout 2019 and early 2020, Home is familiar in its synthesis of propulsive beats, orchestral flourishes, piano ruminations and sultry, gender-nonconforming vocals, but never have they sounded more cohesive or alive. Home is bookended by celestial cantos sung by the Danish National Girls' Choir, who Rhye performed with at a landmark concert in Denmark in 2017. |

Dua Lipa
Future Nostalgia - Bonus Edition
WR |
|
| "What I wanted to do with this album was to break out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to make music that felt like it could sit alongside some of my favorite classic pop songs." Future Nostalgia not only cleverly incorporates her favorite moments of 70s, 80s, 90s pop, but on tracks like "Break My Heart" twists samples of INXS' "Need You Tonight" to meet the needs of her euphoric vision. |

Brandy Clark
Your Life Is A Record
Warner |
|
| Six-time Grammy Winner Brandy Clark has a black belt in classic country. Factor in James Taylor, Carole King, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Randy Newman, and Clark's X-factor lies in the soul sustenance from the radio and records she heard growing up. From the Dusty in Memphis flourishes of "Love is a Fire" to the minor-key memories in "Bad Car," the lush slink of "Can We Be Strangers," to the falter and dignity of "Apologies", Your Life is a Record finds Clark truly embracing "the grown up stuff." |

Grace Potter
Daylight
Fantasy |
|
| Having endured a painful divorce and the breakup of her band The Nocturnals – as well as far more joyful events like a new marriage and the birth of her first child – Grace Potter reached for Daylight and delivered a commanding statement of power and purpose. Cathartic and emotionally raw, Daylight is the result of that arduous journey. It is imbued with equal parts aching vulnerability and unapologetic self-possession – but make no mistake: Potter is quite capable of breathing pure fire. |

Robert Glasper
Fuck Yo Feelings
Loma Vista |
|
| Legendary genre-bending producer Robert Glasper's sound might be built on his unique blend of jazz, hip-hop and neo-soul, but it's ultimately without definition. Fuck Yo Feelings is an inspired update in that lineage, blending the personalities of himself and his collaborators that include a top-tier range of standout artists across different scenes that only Glasper could put in the same room – Yasiin Bey, Herbie Hancock, Andra Day, YBN Cordae, Terrace Martin, Baby Rose, Bilal, Buddy, Denzel Curry, Mick Jenicks, SiR, Rapsody and more. |

World on the Ground
Rounder |
|
| In a departure from the nuanced introspection of her previous work, World On the Groundunfolds as a finely wrought collection of stories from her hometown of Wimberley, Texas (population: 2,626), presenting a series of character sketches nearly novelistic in emotional scope.

Big Thief
Two Hands
4AD |
|
| Two Hands is an album about the Earth and the bones beneath it. The songs were recorded live with almost no overdubs in the famed southwestern Sonic Ranch studio – chosen for its vast desert location. All but two songs feature entirely live vocal takes, leaving Adrianne Lenker's voice suspended above the mix in dry air, raw and vulnerable as ever. With this raw power and intimacy, Two Hands folds itself gracefully into Big Thief's impressive discography. This body of work grows deeper and more inspiring with each new album. |
