Capitol
The singer-songwriter's third album is a candid, musically assured statement of her independent spirit.

A confident, often celebratory set of alt-pop and dance-rock that finds the candid lyricist rebounding from the mental-health struggles of her debut.
Blue Note / EMI Records
A reliable mix of sentimentality, wit, and warm storytelling from the English journeyman.
Impulse! / Verve
The first full-length by the British jazzman to fully explore his commitment to the flute, with an illustrious cast.
Paradise of Bachelors
The two fingerstyle guitar aces converge for a third volume of intricate and tasteful duets.

Full-length debut from the award-winning singer/producer, seamlessly blending jungle's head-rush breakbeats with neo-soul introspection.
Red Hot Organization

Wholeheartedly leaping into honky tonk whiskey ballads with elements of straightforward rock, the band stomps and struts their way through 14 tracks of pure hayseed boogie; always with a nod to solid rock songwriting and throaty yowls, keeping the sound slyly contemporary.
