Baby Rose

Through and Through

Limited Edition Earl and Lemon Vinyl

Baby Rose makes healing music for the aimless and heartbroken. The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter and producer's uniquely rich voice naturally lends itself to her powerful, smoke-filled ballads lamenting lost loves and broken futures. "I make music to help myself get through things," she says. The piercing honesty and vulnerability she brings to her lyrics in turn helps others process their feelings and find a place of healing. For Rose, it's a journey that's still ongoing. "If I'm going to leave anything behind, it's going to be getting people back to themselves," she says. "As I get back to myself, it's a constant reset: Remember who you are, remember who you want to be."

Wesley Joseph

Glow

Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl

Wesley Joseph takes off the mask for his new project GLOW, and shares his most personal work to date. The collection of songs is more raw, honest and vulnerable. GLOW is an environment in which the unworldly feels close to home and sits the bone chilling next to the harmonious. With a keen cinematic feel, it dives into the melancholy and finds nostalgia and warmth - contemplating the sweat of youth, life and love in the magic of the nights unknown. It's a contemporary listen which points to the future, as Wesley unapologetically bends genres with unwavering precision. At once a sonically bold, electrifying, psychedelic and romantic listen, GLOW's story unfolds with lyrical poignancy, as avant-garde rap meets swooning falsettos; reflecting on the light in the dark and stretching his vocal presence further again.

Stella Donnelly

Thrush Metal

Stella Donnelly is a young songwriter with a knack for wrapping unapologetic, brutally honest lyrics with a soaring lullaby to mesmeric effect. Thrush Metal features sharp lyrical punchlines that present an endearing and relatable but equally empowering guidebook to female experience in this age of Trump, Tinder and third wave feminism. Take new bonus track, "Talking", which explores the ever-so-common feeling that you're in a one-sided relationship from a distinctly millennial perspective and "Mechanical Bull", a pithy but potent track that addresses the male tendency to persist unwanted sexual advances.

Whitney

SPARK

Japanese Crystal Clear Vinyl

SPARK reintroduces Whitney as a contemporary syndicate of classic pop, its dozen imaginative and endearing tracks wrapping fetching melodies around paisley-print Dilla beats and luxuriant electronics. What's more, Whitney reduces three years of extreme emotional highs and lows into 38 brisk but deep minutes, each of these 12 tracks a singable lesson in what it is they have all survived. However surprising it may sound, SPARK is less a radical reinvention for Whitney than an honest accounting of how it feels when you move out of your past and into your present, when you take the next steps of your lives and careers at once and without apology. SPARK maintains the warmth and ease of Whitney's early work; these songs glow with the newness of now. SPARK is not only Whitney's best album; it is an inspiring testament to perseverance and renewal, to best friends trusting each another enough to carry one another to the other side of this season of woe.
