Alex Cameron, Late to Set
The Australian artist’s fifth album houses some of his most brooding songs to date, a mood that strangely sharpens his songwriting without sacrificing his melodic sensibility.
Rome Streetz, Sock It 2 My Pocket
Over a rich tapestry of East Coast production styles, the Queens-reared emcee’s latest thrives in the space between Griselda-era boom-bap and the grimey hue of ’90s NYC drum loops.
Steve Lacy, Oh Yeah?
With a warmer, looser take on anthemic soul-pop, the guitarist and songwriter’s third solo effort sees him move way beyond the reach of The Internet.
