deary, Birding
Sounding like a band well into their second decade of existence, the London-based dream-pop trio stretch each song on their debut without ever letting them overstay their welcome.
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.
