+ My friend Vanessa introduced me to her back in 13 BC — so I feel pretty rad for following King Princess’ career. Her voice and her sultriness are unmatched.

+ Post Malone showcases unbeatable hooks and versatile vox. Loving this album for my long commutes.
LIZZO – CUZ I LOVE YOU
+ Her vox, her attitude, her everything. Go see her live if you haven’t already. I saw her twice this year and I plan on a trillion more outings.
VAMPIRE WEEKEND – FATHER OF THE BRIDE
+ This has everything you need. Versatility, political alertness, references and the finest musicianship. I dance through this entire album.
BRITTANY HOWARD – JAIME
+ All hail the queen. She brings all the soul and funk and heart from Alabama Shakes – and nothing less.
MISTY MTN – MISSED YOUR CALL EP

+ Misty Mtn are one to watch. The vocals are sweet and rich and you want to hear more.
DEVENDRA BANHART – MA
+ A dedication to motherhood – soft, somber and beautiful.
ALICE SMITH – MYSTERY

+ Her pipes are sick and nostalgia-inducing. (Check out her recording of The House of the Rising Sun even though it’s not on her latest EP)
BON IVER – i, i

+ I must say I have grown to love her. Good, fun, poppy beats and visual storytelling.
