Cameron Winter, Live at Carnegie Hall
As a work apart from Paul Thomas Anderson’s colorful concert film, the Geese frontman’s piano-and-vocals-only live album still works as a marvelous still-life treat.
Meshell Ndegeocello, Synonym
Surrounded by an all-star team of collaborators, the soul artist imbues these 15 familiar pop duets with a newfound sense of weightiness, grit, and—crucially—queerness.
Wishy, Nature’s Pill
The guitar-pop group expands upon their 2024 debut with a more relaxed effort emphasizing a stronger interplay between two co-vocalists who remain a match made in college-rock heaven.
