The Los Angeles Issue

Lorde, Virgin
The pop star retains the tainted-love throb of electro rhythm on a fourth LP that’s high on affection, low on gloss, and geared toward transcendence and sneaky sexuality.

Frankie Cosmos, Different Talking
Greta Kline’s sixth album finds her clicking with her new band, lending these songs a DIY quality reminiscent of her early demos despite digging into themes exclusive to adulthood.

BC Camplight, A Sober Conversation
The UK-via-NJ songwriter’s blackly comic neo-chamber-pop missive on sobriety still manages to speak to the upbeat without a snip of excess emotion.

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.

From the EP’s get-go, it’s clear the trio is unafraid to continuously push creative boundaries.
