Essential Full-Length Releases
![]() Corinne Bailey Rae - The Heart Speaks in Whispers I was a pretty big fan of Corinne Bailey Rae when she released her self-titled debut album in 2006, but lost interest sometime after the 2010 follow-up, The Sea. I have a renewed interest with this third album, which comes after a long break for the artist and a shift in her sound. It's a welcome departure from guitar-driven pop; more upbeat and funky, garnering comparisons to other R&B greats like Erykah Badu. Watch: "Green Aphrodisiac" Watch: "Been to the Moon" |
![]() The Duke Spirit - KIN It's been a little while since we last heard from The Duke Spirit; five years since the release of Bruiser. This album was announced way back in the fall of last year and was supported by a Pledge Music campaign to help fund its release. The welcome return from the band follows a side project, Roman Remains, from Toby Butler and Leila Moss. Watch: "Hands" Watch: "Wounded Wing" |
![]() Eagulls - Ullages There's been a good post-punk resurgence in Europe over the past several years and Eagulls have been one of the pillars of that movement. They released their debut self-titled album in 2014 to acclaim. They take inspiration from The Smiths and Cocteau Twins on the follow-up, which was recorded in their hometown of Leeds with producer Craig Silvey. Watch: "Skipping" Listen: "Velvet" |
![]() Jessy Lanza - Oh No Oh No is the sophomore album from this Canadian electronic and R&B performer. She's following up a well received debut, Pull My Hair Back, released three years ago, and is once again working with Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan. Watch: "It Means I Love You" Listen: "VV Violence" |
