Hi friends,
Spring is here, and there are a lot of great new and notable releases to mark the change of season. Hope your March Madness brackets haven't been busted yet, and for our KCRW equivalent, here's our Thrilling Top 30 Chart. Let's dig in!
P.S. A special happy birthday shout-out to our Music Insider (another newsletter you should subscribe to), the one, the only, Anne Litt.
At the top:
James Blake – Trying Times– Grammy-winning musician and producer, and our very first live performer at KCRW HQ, is welcomed back to the top of our chart with his seventh studio album, an introspective sign of the times that we're in. We encourage you to check out his conversation with Madeleine Brand on yesterday's Press Play discussing the album, love, and Leonard Cohen.
New & Notable / Tracing Back to Roots:
Robyn – "Blow My Mind" [Single] – The last single from the Swedish dance pop star's ninth album Sexistential debuts at #8, and if it sounds familiar, your ears are correct. The song is a new modern interpolation of her song of the same name from 2002. Tickets are still available for her second night at the Kia Forum. Get it while you can.
Rostam – "Like A Spark" [Single] – Happy Nowruz to the Grammy-winning Iranian-American recording artist, songwriter, producer and composer, who debuts at #22 with his new single, "Like A Spark" from his forthcoming album, American Stories, which quilts together elements of Americana and traditional Persian music, which he's exploring for the first time on a record.
