Stream it below through Apple Music or Spotify. This is Michelle Zauner’s third studio LP under the moniker and follows 2016’s Psychopomp and 2017’s Soft Sounds from Another Planet. While those two records addressed the grief and sadness that Zauner felt following her mother’s death from cancer, Jubilee instead sees her celebrating the passage of time and other slivers of happiness she’s found since then. Musically, that translates into a number of subtly funky numbers on Jubilee like the lead single “Be Sweet” and the delightfully bold track “Savage Good Boy”. Ev...
