The songwriter’s earliest soul and jazz influences can be found swirling throughout her third album, which also expands into the realms of hypnotic electronic music and alt rock.
Chanel Beads, Your Day Will Come

Meshing elements of rap, rock, and R&B, the duo of Louie Pastel and Felix discuss their unlikely come-up over the past year.
Camae Ayewa discusses working with artistic limitations, the relationship between poetry and music, and the direction she took with her latest solo LP.
The brains behind recent videos from Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist, MAVI, and Lil Uzi Vert discusses his DIY style and evolution as an artist.
The London-based artist plays with percussive beats with a confidence that enables her to weave seemingly unrelated textures into the same pattern.
The producer’s newest LP is a preservation of blissful, temporary moments that escape once you open your eyes and exhale.
