Greg Freeman
All Set The Bone
Greg Freeman’s previous two albums have flirted with greatness, but the fantastic widescreen Americana-founded experiential rock of his third finally achieves it

Greg Freeman
All Set The Bone
The Maryland singer-songwriter’s third album has an impressive sense of scale compared to last year’s breakout Burnover, but is less immediately appealing
The Guardian
Johnny Marr
The Age of Everything
Marr isn’t releasing The Age of Everything as a grand statement of career intent; he has afforded himself the right to comfortably write tunes within his wheelhouse and release them to a dedicated audience

Popstar
The musician’s eighth full-length combines some of her most experimental, genre-blending sounds with her stickiest hooks on an autobiographical trip through stardom and celebrity

Tinashe
Popstar
Tinashe’s eighth album is her best and bravest yet: more ambitious, more focused, and effortlessly in touch with the zeitgeist. It’s the best pop album of the year
