The British singer-songwriter showcases a voice of remarkable range and pop sensibility that balances classic soul and contemporary R&B. Stardust introduces Skye with genuine emotional depth alongside commercial instincts. Her collaborators bring polish without stripping personality as she sounds fully in command of her identity from the very first track.
The guitar legend's new album pairs his signature melodic rock with a newly collaborative spirit, featuring guest appearances and warmth that suits his playing perfectly. Frampton has spoken about the creative freedom this project brought, and that openness is audible throughout. For fans of his Humble Pie and solo years, Carry The Light is a welcome reminder of his singular touch.
Alejandro Rose-Garcia's newest collection balances warm folk-rock storytelling with growing emotional range. Fondness, etc. finds him cataloging relationships and moments with wry observational wit. The production is intimate without being sparse, and his acoustic guitar work remains among the most distinctive in American roots music. A grower that genuinely rewards returning to.
The Virginia roots rock quintet builds on earlier New West Records releases with a record balancing raucous energy and genuine tenderness. Change of Plans finds Isaac Gibson and the band in fine form, blending Southern rock, Americana, and country with natural authority. If you haven't discovered them yet, this is the record to start with.
Jobi Riccio writes with a classic ease recalling the best of '70s California folk-rock, while distilling that sensibility into a beautifully crafted set of songs. Riccio makes her influences feel lived-in rather than borrowed, and Beau Sample's warm production suits her voice perfectly. One of the quiet discoveries of the season.
New Orleans' most genre-defiant band delivers another album moving freely between soul, hip-hop, neo-soul, and jazz without losing its rootedness in the city's DNA. Tarriona "Tank" Ball remains one of the most captivating vocalists in American music, and The Last Balloon gives her extraordinary voice plenty of space. Joyfully unclassifiable, as always.
To celebrate Pet Sounds' 60th anniversary, Capitol compiles 25 standout tracks from the 1997 box set, all making their vinyl debut. Alternate takes, a cappella stacks, and tracking sessions illuminate the painstaking craft behind one of pop music's most celebrated recordings. New liner notes by Howie Edelson add context for newcomers and completists alike.
A NOTE ABOUT RECORD STORE DAY 2020
Due to the current circumstances RSD 2020 has once again had to adapt and here is the latest information from Record Store Day:
Since 2008, Record Store Day has grown into the world’s largest single-day music event, shining a light on the culture of the indie record store across the globe. In 2020, that world is different, so Record Store Day will be too. RSD is now scheduled to be celebrated with special, properly distanced release dates on Saturdays in August, September and October.
Record Store Day will look very different this year, but supporting indie record stores may be more important than ever. We don't know what sort of rules will be in place, or what sort of gatherings people will be in the mood for this year, so we're focusing on the music and getting the really great titles on the RSD Official List this year into the stores and into your hands, in the most financially and socially responsible way.
The titles on the RSD 2020 Official List, launched on March 5th, will be released at participating record stores on one of these three RSD Drops: August 29th, September 26th, and October 24th. The new version of The List, with newly assigned RSD Drops dates will launch on June 1 so check back here for a look at when you'll be able to pick up the titles on your RSD 2020 wishlist at your local record store.
