This week’s New Music Friday features new album releases from George Ezra, Neneh Cherry, Chase & Status, Carrie Underwood, and Sinead O’Brien. Happy listening!
“Dance All Over Me” George Ezra
Album: Gold Rush Kid
Description:
“Gold Rush Kid gets better the further it moves away from the standard blueprint, into emotional territory that, if it isn’t exactly dark (happily for him, Ezra seems to inhabit a world where every problem comes with a resolution) is certainly more overcast.“
– The Guardian
“Woman” by Neneh Cherry ft ANOHNI
Album: The Versions
Description:
“A consistently interesting set that reminds you that Neneh Cherry didn’t just come up with visionaries like The Slits and Massive Attack, but truly became one in her own right. “
– NME
“Hold Your Ground” by Chase & Status ft Ethan Holt
Album: What Came Before
Description:
“It may feel like more of a mixtape, but the lack of cohesiveness on What Came Before can be forgiven. Chase & Status remind you of the true dance and D&B legends they are, with tracks worthy of any dancefloor interspersed between furious grime and vicious jungle.“
– Loud and Quiet
“Burn” by Carrie Underwood
Album: Demin & Rhinestones
Description:
“The album is more garish than anything she’s released before, and the sound truly integrates the imagery of flashy jean jackets and dripping jewelry.“
– Riff Magazine
“Like Culture” by Sinead O’Brien
Album: Time Bend And Break The Bower
Description:
“Though inspired by the endless waiting felt during the moving statues phenomenon in ‘80s Ireland, where religious statues reportedly moved spontaneously, there’s no anticipation for a holy punk apparition here. Everything we could have expected with ‘Time Bends and Break the Bower’ has been delivered.“
– NME
