All New Releases
Columbia
Another star-studded set of throwback party numbers from the producer, featuring the smash Bruno Mars collaboration "Uptown Funk."
Epic
On her full-length debut, the "All About That Bass" sensation sticks to a similar blend of girl groups, rap, and musical theater while proving she's no one-hit wonder.
RCA
A wholly pleasing, relatively contemporary set from one of the planet's greatest multidimensional R&B; talents.
Domino
Fifth solo album by the Animal Collective contributor finds him in a class by himself with his hypnotic, electro-friendly pop.
Nettwerk / Nettwerk Music Group / Ocho Mule
The band ditches the acoustic guitars and bongos and discovers electricity on their seventh studio album.
Vested in Culture
Front-loaded with three singles, the Miami native's debut for Sylvia Rhone's Vested in Culture label offers confident streetwise pop.
ECM
The saxophonist adds two bassists, a vibraphonist, and a string quartet to his core group to deliver a remarkable, expansive set of new compositions.
Because / Phantasy Sound
James Greenwood's diverse project offers wistful synth pop and dance music for overcast afternoons.
Various Artists
Nonesuch
Document of a concert celebrating folk music, as well as the Coen Brothers' film using the N.Y.C. hootenanny scene as a backdrop.
Loose Music
Companion piece to 2014's Single Mothers that extends the songwriter's song cycle on broken families and failed relationships.
Fat Possum
The Plush leader steps out on his own with a bracing, bittersweet set of pop songs.
Brainfeeder
The producer's Brainfeeder debut embraces trap, dubstep, and grime with his signature cartoonish flair.
Don Giovanni
Second album from these hard-edged indie rockers finds them increasing their guitar firepower and using it well.
Arts & Crafts Productions
A sonically expansive and emotionally charged new beginning for the Juno Award-winning singer/songwriter.
Alive Records / SDEG
The inspired madman of R&B; sounds impressively sane and soulful as he tackles race and embraces old-school soul.
Anti
The Philadelphia indie rock powerhouse turns in a solid and spirited double live album.
Light in the Attic Records
The ornate, Lee Hazlewood-produced 1968 psych-folk debut from this soft-voiced Florida native.
Albion
This covers mostly rather obscure material, but it's a nice find for fans, with performances of real intimacy and sensitivity.
DG Deutsche Grammophon
Strauss' highly pictorial score Ein Heldenleben receives detailed treatment. Recommended perhaps for Netrebko fans, decisively for those of Barenboim.
Delphian
Committed fans of Tavener may well find the choir's recording of Two Hymns to the Mother of God worth the price of admission.
Coro
The Scarlatti setting draws an unusually passionate performance out of the normally reserved Sixteen. Not a set of new masterpieces, but a commendable, fresh program.
Harmonia Mundi
Those who enjoy Anonymous 4's vocal sounds will likely be intrigued to hear it in this new light, and Molsky's low-key but versatile accompaniment works well.
Orange Mountain Music
Recommended for those curious about Glass and the piano, or even for those looking for a concise introduction to the composer's later style.
