Ashe – Ashlyn

Inspired by her recent divorce, and dripping with the Californian sun, Ashlyn stands testament to Ashe’s ability as a songwriter who gazes into the abyss. However, while Ashlyn touches upon heavy topics, make no mistake – this is an album that is as much fun, as it is corny.

St Vincent – Daddy’s Home

Daddy’s Home, is an amalgamation of the music that her father used to play to her when she was a child. The result is like a hipster’s dream of what the ’70s may have been like, played through their parents’ $10,000 speakers. And I mean that in the most positive way possible.

Chet Faker/Soulwax – Whatever Tomorrow (Soulwax Remix)

While it’s been a moment since we heard from the Aussie soul-pop icon, Chet Faker is clearly back with a vengeance. Whatever Tomorrow (Soulwax Remix) is two worlds colliding in the best way possible – a throbbing dance track with Faker’s heart-crushing voice.

Internet Money – His & Hers

His & Hers is littered with acoustic guitar strings and lazy high-hats that unify to create the feeling of summertime romance, with some darker subtle twists along the way. An introspective sound from the likes of Taz Taylor, and producers Nick Mira, Alec Wigdahl, Cxdy & Pharaoh Vice, that meets the maximalist hooks of Don Toliver, and Lil Uzi Vert.
