ALPHA (2021) – Charlotte Day Wilson

Charlotte Day Wilson approaches the daunting hurdle of a debut studio album with level headedness and a precise idea of what she wants her first major project to be.

Jubilee (2021) – Japanese Breakfast

The record has an overarching retro synth-pop sound, but each track is differentiated by specific production and instrumentation elements that keep the record from being stale.
