ARTIST: Sub Urban 

ALBUM TITLE: Thrill Seeker (2020)

Finding this young, up and coming artist on TikTok, Sub Urban has a dark pop sound, reminiscent of carnival music. This is a perfect spooky/creepy album for the Halloween season.

ARTIST: Denzel Curry

ALBUM TITLE: Melt My Eyez See Your Future (2022)

Miami rapper Denzel Curry has released his most varied and eclectic album so far, drawing influence from jazz and R&B among other genres with poignant lyrics about battling inner demons. One of the best hip hop albums of the year so far!

SONG TO CHECK OUT: Walkin

ALBUM TITLE: Homogenic (1997)

Ahead of her new album release at the end of this month, check out this classic album from Icelandic singer Bjork. An album that saw her dive deeper into electronic music versus her more eclectic earlier albums, this is a groundbreaking and original album with a sound no one has approximated before or since.
