Last year, neo-soul extraordinaire UMI dropped Introspection, a lovely, probing EP of alt-R&B that hit like an indie film. For 2021, though, she’s given those tunes, including the title track and “Pretty Girl Hi,” the IMAX treatment: revitalizing her subterranean sound with bright horns, glimmering keyboards, and an analog warmth that stretches “Introspection Reimagined” out across five luxurious minutes. Worth every second. —Patrick Hosken
