Flea, Honora
While the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist’s collaboration-heavy foray into jazz occasionally errs on the side of pensive, it’s never anything less than heartfelt.
Robyn, Sexistential
The Stockholm-based electropop auteur’s ode to motherhood falls right in line with her always-mature, somewhat-confrontational manner of making desire-driven dance pop.
Holy Fuck, Event Beat
The Canadian band’s sixth collection of percussion-driven, electronically augmented art-rock walks a fascinating tightrope between hard-hitting noise and grooving synth-funk.
