Albums & EPs

A cracked mirror can still catch the whole room if the light hits nasty enough. On ...Then After?, American act Outsideness take the outsider language introduced on ...From What? and kick it into a wider, stranger arena. The project, built around the collaboration between Freidrich$ and Azalias, has always carried that fascinating…

Zenesoul has always treated love like architecture: something entered, damaged, rebuilt, and sometimes abandoned with the lights still warm. On “Under the Same Sky,” the Canadian artist with Nigerian roots expands that emotional design into a 16-track R&B/Soul…

A cracked guitar can tell the truth faster than a polished vocal booth ever could. On “We’re A Long, Long Way From Home,” American artist Freidrich$ returns with his first solo album since forming Outsideness, stretching his terse outsider-art R&B into a wounded, warped, and oddly magnetic emo hip-hop record. This is not rock…

For Jacob Klein, i give my friends flowers has always sounded less like a conventional solo moniker than a philosophy of making things before time changes their meaning. The Asheville-based project officially describes itself as Klein’s creative outlet, with music moving through indie soul, lo-fi folk, dream pop and alt-hip-hop…

A porch light can make an entire street feel cinematic when the right voice is standing underneath it. With “BOY NEXT DOOR,” Mississippi artist Kenny Pahina turns that familiar glow into a full album language: classic R&B warmth, soul-rooted feeling, pop electricity, and dance-floor motion braided into one sleek personal universe. The record unveils…

Roy Woods just gave Canada one of Friday’s most interesting R&B releases — and he did it without the kind of long, noisy rollout usually attached to a new album. The Brampton, Ontario singer released X on August 7, 2026 through OVO Sound, under exclusive license…

Karol G is moving into another chapter without spending much time looking backward. On Friday, August 7, the Colombian superstar released No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, a 14-track project arriving only a year after Tropicoqueta and bringing some of the biggest — and most unexpected — collaborations of her career into…

Thought Provokah turns “82 Seward” into a full-circle classic hip-hop statement, rooted in New York memory, old-school rhythm, and the kind of personal tension that gives rap its lasting weight. The album feels semi-autobiographical without becoming heavy-handed, carrying the history of a childhood spent moving…

American Indie Band Favourite Armchair’s self-titled album “Favourite Armchair” unfolds with the kind of rough-grained Americana and country folk spirit that feels increasingly rare in a music landscape polished to near-invisibility. This is not a record chasing pristine surfaces, radio symmetry, or instant commercial comfort…

Self-production often exposes an artist's limitations as clearly as their strengths. On his new project “It.,” North Carolina's SAKY embraces that tradeoff with notable confidence. Written, produced, and engineered within just five months, the seven-track Alternative Hip-Hop EP…

Jivenya's latest EP project Intermission: Currently is less concerned with dramatic resolution than with documenting emotional suspension. As part of his ongoing Intermission series, the seven-track EP functions as another chapter in a personal timeline, capturing…

Grief does not enter Sixth of the Six as a theme; it behaves like the room itself, changing the pressure, the scale, and the temperature of every sound. Woodside, CA artist Scott Moran frames this Pop Rock and Alt Pop album around a father’s plea to reach his missing daughter Charlotte Moran…

Tyla is no longer asking the international music industry to make room for her sound. On her sophomore album, A*POP, she presents African music as an essential part of pop’s present rather than a regional movement waiting for mainstream approval. Dropped July 24 through…

Before the stadium tours, diamond-certified records and country-pop anthems, Shania Twain was a young performer singing late at night in small Northern Ontario venues. Her new album, Little Miss Twain, returns to that less familiar chapter—not as a carefully polished origin myth, but as a collection shaped by…

Suki Waterhouse’s career once invited the familiar “model-turned-musician” description. With “Loveland,” that framing feels increasingly inadequate. Indeed, the project is Waterhouse’s third studio album and her first full-length release through Island Records. Its 14 tracks run…
