Victoria Monét – Frequency of Love (Lovett Music / RCA) Victoria Monét has traded in the lush velvet horns and retro-soul grooves of JAGUAR for pure, unadulterated romance on Frequency of Love. It’s an album that sounds like sipping expensive champagne on a silk couch—lavish, intimate, and effortlessly smooth.

NEW MUSIC MONDAYS: Jhene Aiko, Ezra Collective, Ibibio Sound Machine, Natanya, Nigeria 80, Bonobo, Standing On The Corner and Funkadelic

Jhené Aiko – Westside Whimsy  (ArtClub International / Def Jam Recordings) Jhené Aiko makes her long-awaited return with Westside Whimsy, a project that leans heavily into 90s West Coast nostalgia while staying grounded in her signature ethereal R&B. The album moves with a laid-back, sun-drenched ease, balancing smooth, surf-culture-inspired backdrops with intimate songwriting about romance, growth, and personal evolution. It feels like a natural progression from her past work, traded in part for a brighter, more relaxed perspective. Standout moments […]

The Nigerian-American singer-songwriter and guitarist raised in Katy, Texas, has built her music around the messy, funny, painful and often confusing process of figuring out who you are in your 20s. Her songs — including those on debut album 20nothing — are deeply personal without feeling distant and turn […]
