"With so much good music being released all the time, it can be hard to determine what to listen to first. Every week, Pitchfork offers a run-down of significant new releases available on streaming services. This week's batch includes new projects from 21 Savage, This Is Lorelei, Fred Again.., Nas & DJ Premier, Conway the Machine, Hercules & Love Affair, Leif, and Fucked Up."
"Announced at Art Basel with cover art by the Nigerian artist Slawn, What Happened to the Streets? is 21 Savage's return to an underworld of nihilism and menace after the more reflective American Dream. The Atlanta rapper proceeds through these 14 tracks in a hypnotic drawl, sinking into night-crawling beats and rallying guests-Drake, GloRilla, Young Nudy, G Herbo, Latto, and Lil Baby among them-to join him in the murk."
"With dozens of homespun projects, some dating back over a decade, Nate Amos' Bandcamp back catalog presents a daunting prospect. For his second proper LP as This Is Lorelei, Amos-also half of Water From Your Eyes-combed through the archives and re-recorded 10 songs that span yacht rock ("I Can't Fall," "This is a Joke"), power pop ("Dreams Away," "Name the Band"), and more experimental directions ("Mouth Man")."
Several notable new releases span hip-hop, indie, electronic, and experimental styles. 21 Savage returns with What Happened to the Streets?, a 14-track record announced at Art Basel with cover art by Nigerian artist Slawn, featuring night-crawling beats and guest appearances from Drake, GloRilla, Young Nudy, G Herbo, Latto, and Lil Baby. Nate Amos, as This Is Lorelei, re-recorded ten archived songs for Holo Boy, shifting through yacht rock, power pop, and experimental directions with a breezy, self-assured tone. Additional releases include projects from Fred Again.., Nas & DJ Premier, Conway the Machine, Hercules & Love Affair, Leif, and Fucked Up.
