Warner Records
With the help of Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, the pop star takes the high road after a breakup with this focused third set.
Atlantic
The tenth studio set from the Aussie pop wiz matches the power and intensity of her mid-2010s mainstream peak.
Young
Using the idea of dance as a creative and physical engine, the saxophonist's star-studded cast travel across jazz, funk, fusion, R&B, and more.
Warp
Gathering demos for what would have been the pioneering electronic pop duo's fifth album, this collection abounds with raw brilliance.
Merge
Beautifully sad, warmly played and sung album about death and healing made with subtle country-rock and electronic accents.
Matador
A sonically thrilling and rallying dispatch from the Niger-based guitar hero.
Captured Tracks
The '70s-inspired power pop band mixes up their subjects of obsession, re-creating styles of the Beach Boys, '70s power pop, soft rock, and the Beatles.
Merge
With Ross Orton producing, mixing, and programming for the first time, the band comes off as a driving, futurist funk machine.

Laufey’s contemporary, confessional brand of jazz is easy to fall right into. In a rich, smooth alto, she weaves poetic turns of phrase with honest musings about love, heartbreak, and growing up. “From The Start” is a sweet, bossa nova-esque number about an unrequited crush, and in “California and Me”, she collaborates with the Philharmonic Orchestra in a sweeping lament that would hardly sound out of place in a Disney princess film.
