Adrian Younge - Something About April II [2016]


When Something About April II was released in January 2016, Adrian Younge was on a roll. He had produced a great album for Souls of Mischief (There Is Only Now) and produced what might be Bilal's best album (In Another Life). Additionally, the multi-instrumentalist's work was the source of the samples of the solid PRhyme album and he also worked on two albums with Ghostface.

Kadhja Bonet - Childqueen [2018]


Kadhja Bonet's music has an otherworldly quality to it. It's radiant, gorgeous work that defies genre classification. Hints of psychedelia, soul and folk course through the veins of Bonet's compositions. All of this, plus an angelic voice, is what made her debut EP, The Visitor, such a joy to listen to. A few years later, the high quality of Childqueen shows that the brilliance on display in The Visitor was not just lightning in a bottle.
