While they’ve never maintained a run as fierce as, say, Little Dragon, Brooklyn’s Say She She are stealthily among KCRW’s highest-charting artists of the past two years. Their freshly-released sophomore album Silver rides the assured momentum of last year’s Prism into more adventurous territory: The trio’s skin-tight harmonies are somehow even tighter, the Chic worship more pronounced, and the R&B theatrics more locked into the groove. No wonder KCRW DJs just can’t get enough.

New and notable: Future-R&B singer-songwriter-producer Vagabon casually dropped her long awaited third album Sorry I Haven’t Called, and we have zero chill about how happy we are to hear from her. Plus, Cat Power trains her expert ear for interpreting the masters onto Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert. Our Top 30 Spotify playlist is where it’s at… so get on that.
