Kali Uchis, Sincerely,
Moving from the synth-dembow-pop of last year’s Orquídeas to dreamy neo-soul, her fifth album sees Uchis adapt the tripling axis of joy, pain, and existential dilemma into cloudy song.
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Naturally [20th Anniversary Edition]
This 2005 modern classic of soul revivalism pulled itself up from the bootstraps of the group’s debut with a respect for nuance to match its need for pulsating grooviness.
PinkPantheress, Fancy That
The UK artist’s second mixtape features an EP’s brevity and an album’s worth of heft, all built upon breathless, sample-heavy instrumentals that form an unlikely sense of cohesion.
