Shamir – “Oversized Sweater”

Shamir announces his ninth album Homo Anxietatem, translated from Latin to “anxious man,” with the release of his “Oversized Sweater.” Recorded and produced by Hoost in London, Shamir says, “The first quarter of 2020 before lockdown I felt a lot of anxiety. I was fresh out the psych ward and had quit smoking weed and cigarettes cold turkey. I spent the first couple months of 2020 knitting this huge baby blue sweater. It’s basically a wearable security blanket that I used to channel all my anxiety into. I wear it all the time, but most notably in the video for my song ‘Diet.’”

Ultra Q – My Guardian Angel

Best Rising Artist honorees Ultra Q deliver their new album, My Guardian Angel, which can be described as a nostalgic, coming-of-age record that touches on growing up. “And that is the gift of My Guardian Angel, the implicit understanding that growth is merely a tool we use to better process the past slipping away from us,” a press release states.

Wallice preps to drop her upcoming EP Mr. Big Shot with the new single, “Disappear,” which she wrote in London last year with Callaghan Kevany and David Marinelli. “It’s about being overwhelmed, and the stress that comes with feeling indecisive- sometimes you just have to give in to going with the flow.

Keshi – “Understand”

Keshi revisits his debut album Gabriel with an accompanying music video for “Understand,” helmed by Pennacky. “I realized that the trades that I made were permanent,” he says says of co-writing and co-producing the project alongside Baltimore songwriter-producer Elie Rizk. “‘Having your dreams come true, I had to ask myself, is it everything that I ever wanted? Success, fame, money, and other material things, those are nice, but they’re not the things that make you happy at the end of the day.”
