Tangerine vinyl.<br/><br/>"I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2)" is the second part of Teddy Swims' debut album, arriving January 24, 2025. It follows the massive success of Part 1, which includes his multi-platinum global smash hits, "Lose Control" and "The Door." This self-taught Atlanta-born vocal powerhouse has swiftly risen to the forefront of the music scene in 2024 with record breaking songs, sold-out global tours, and iconic performances. With a voice that effortlessly blends genres, including R&B, soul, and pop, Teddy Swims has captivated listeners with his raw emotion. His voice, full of soulful resonance, carries the weight of lived experience and his lyrics delve into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

The newest album from Rhiannon Giddens', You're the One is her third solo studio album and her first of all original songs. This collection of 12 songs written over the course of Giddens' career bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music that she knows so deeply, as well as its pop descendants. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June), You're the One features some of Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, including multi-instrumentalists Francesco Turrisi and Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and Piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section, and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of her work. <br/><br/>"I hope that people just hear American music," Giddens says. "Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock-it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made with a different set of ears."

Silk Sonic is a new project by popstar Bruno Mars and rapper Anderson .Paak. A superduo, where they both reach completely new heights in their careers.<br/><br/>Together, Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars pulls threads back to Motown and with their debut album An Evening With Silk Sonic they deliver a undeniable soul masterpiece. They don't break new ground musically, but it has been decades since we have had such a pure and genuine soul / R'n'B album. It's like stepping into a time machine and being hauled back to the 60s and 70s - the material feels familiar (in the best way imaginable), but the songs are brand new.
