What We're Listening to This Month

The Possible, Mourning [A] BLKStar
Tracks such as “Two” and “Sojorn” come to life thanks to the quartet’s dynamic mix of big, soulful vocals, RA Washington’s poetic lyrics and hip-hop-meets-electronica-style beats. mourningablkstar.com

The Victory Garden, the Commonwealth
The chamber-pop group’s LP is haunting and cinematic. Songs such as “Versailles” venture from mellow wistfulness to soaring rock high notes. thecommonwealth-music.com

“Something Won’t Let Me Drown,” Lauren Lanzaretta
The singer lets go of her pop-infused R&B past on this soulful, vulnerable track with a stripped-down sound. It serves as a taste for more new music she plans to release later this year. laurenlanzaretta.com
