Lapsley is actually signed to the same label and management as Adele) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXmaDGAlLvU Polica, United Crushers (they changed up their sound, Channy seems to have shed the Autotune filter from her vocals) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICruF30bCEI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG8JMSMDICI Prince Rama, Xtreme Now (concept album about extreme sports? well the singles sound like it could be a lot of fun) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnk8FVG2pGI 11th March: Emmy the Great, Second Love (2015's EP 'S' revealed her new electronic direction which she's supposed to continue on this album) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCa5lKjIMJU Lucius, Good Grief (a bit of a change up in sound, quite intriguing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dybp_QbafIo Tanita Tikaram, Closer to the People (so far I'm getting similar vibes to her last album Can't Go Back) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuVYaQDOFKo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGKAdmTapEs 18th March: Robyn Sherwell, self-titled (debut album by this Guernsey singer-songwriter. the drums in 'Islander' sound like they were taken from 'Tusk' by Fleetwood Mac) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5sd9nFpnYI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iURbUmoG3Qo 8th April: Niki & the Dove, Everybody's Heart Is Broken Now (no idea what to expect from this, first single is more scaled down than their usual big chorus fare which is refreshing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCBLeYxb8t4 13th May Jessy Lanza, Oh No (the first single is more danceable than most of her debut album) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C216ZRVOM5A On 30 January 2016 at 04:05, Karen Hester wrote: > > I've been listening non-stop to the awesome The Gathering 25th anniversary > concert, with all previous singers, digital available from bandcamp: > https://thegathering.bandcamp.com/ > > PJ Harvey album trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUCvVbTY1rE > > Lissie had been releasing singles with homemade-ish videos, and album My > Wild West due early Feb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQIZJPIhnB8; > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQevK_bUV9g&list=PLly_12sZUbIPUW6q5pQgZEj9zrLnCj0Qu > ; > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ3AYEfpK9g > > Emma Pollock's new album In Search of Harperfield was released today.
