New Release Round-Up 03-08-24
Norah Jones - Visions - Blue Note
Visions is a vibrant and joyous 12-song set that finds Jones singing about feeling free, wanting to dance, making it right, and acceptance of what life brings. It’s the yang to the yin that was Pick Me Up Off The Floor, Jones’ last album of new original songs which was released early in the pandemic lockdown of 2020 and foreshadowed many of the dark emotions of that period. Indie Exclusive "Sun-kissed" Orange Blend LP. Alternate Cover Art.
STILL LISTENING TO...
Hurray For The Riff Raff - The Past Is Still Alive - Nonesuch Records
Hurray for the Riff Raff’s (aka Alynda Segarra, they/them), The Past Is Still Alive, is out now on Nonesuch Records. The record represents a new phase of beginning in Segarra’s lauded evolution as a storyteller. Created during a period filled with grief, when they found inspiration in radical poetry, railroad culture, outsider art, the work of writer Eileen Myles, and the history of activist groups like ACT UP and Gran Fury, discovering a stronger, singular style of writing that felt like a long-awaited revelation.
The album has been featured everywhere from NY Times (including a “primer” which they almost never do) to Vogue, to NPR and today it received an 8.3 Best New Music on Pitchfork. It’s currently got an 88 on metacritic, making it the 3rd best reviewed new release of the year.
