It is Friday morning, which implies that shortly after the buzzer sounded throughout final evening’s March Insanity video games, dozens of latest albums appeared on streaming providers.
We start this week’s New Music Friday with some March Disappointment, particularly Japanese Breakfast’s extremely anticipated return For Melancholy Brunettes (& unhappy girls). It is Michelle Zauner’s first album since changing into a New York Occasions bestseller for her memoir, Crying in H Mart, so there’s so much to unpack. We introduced in J-Brek superfan Izzi Bavis of Baltimore public radio station WTMD, the place she DJs each weeknight from 7-10 ET.
Hearken to the dialog under, and stream our beneficial new albums.
