Janelle Monáe, The Age of Pleasure

With breezy R&B melodies and roomy Afrobeat arrangements to guide her, Monáe turns from robotic sci-fi to the earthly influence of Fela Kuti for her latest loll through Wondaland.

Jimmy Whispers, The Search for God

In 15 all-too-brief minutes, the LA freak-pop songwriter paints pressing existential issues as simple facts of life in America, the man-made horrors of our everyday existence.

Jess Williamson, Time Ain’t Accidental

On her fifth solo album, Williamson avoids one-dimensional break-up clichés to create a complex work of conventional country-style riffs and more modern instrumentation.
