The pop star’s new album trades aesthetic sleekness for a more organic sound, telling a real-life love story through sophisticated, romantic songs that tap jazz, blues, soul, and Feist.

The seven-track companion to 2024’s Something in the Room She Moves blends new songs with reshaped versions of previously released material to offer a new glimpse at the L.A. musician’s creative process.

Members of hardcore bruisers Vein.fm and nu-gaze breakouts Fleshwater reassemble beneath the metalcore banner, combining brute strength and progressive instincts into a slab of unrelenting violence.

The “Cutwater” rapper’s debut LP tests the water with rehashed takes on trending sounds, none more effective than the homegrown Chicago juke that fueled her breakout.
