Her new album Us, is due out Oct. 19 via Terrible Records.
Westerman continues to make alternative pop music that’s both fresh and progressive. The UK singer-songwriter drops his newest single “Albatross” off his upcoming Ark EP, which dropped Nov. 9. On “Albatross,” Westerman describes making the record.
“Albatross” is set on a lake in my mind where I go to escape the worries of day to day existence,” Westerman explains of the EP’s lead track. “It’s a more innocent and natural place. There is a growing impingement on that place as time starts to feel like it moves faster, and more demands emerge. The song looks at that threat both to the physical environment and our own psychology through the inevitability of an ever-changing landscape.
AzChike is one of the best new West Coast artists out right now. If you haven’t listened to his March’s stellar My World project, it’s easy to see that he’s a star-in-the-making. “Pop Out,” his most recent collab with AzSwaye, is another notch on the winning belt.
To round out the playlist, we spotlight artists to keep an eye on in the future, such as Hippo Campus, Felly, LightSkinKeisha, Killumanti, Lil Dude, Lil Boii Kantu and more. Listen to Playlist 0155 below.
