Dream Your Life Away
by Vance Joy
Vance Joy's solid folk-pop chops and ear for instruments made him one of the most buzzed-about artists since 2014. His voice—somewhere between a lonesome howl and destitute growl—squeezes every available drop of emotion out of songs like "All I Ever Wanted" and "Best That I Can". When he pushes up to a higher register—as he does on "Riptide" and "Mess Is Mine"—he draws you into his world.
Track List
1) Winds of Change
2) Mess is Mine
3) Wasted Time
4) Riptide
5) Who Am I
6) From Afar
7) We All Die Trying to Get It Right
8) Georgia
9) Red Eye
10) First Time
11) All I Ever Wanted
12) Best That I Can
13) My Kind of Man

B'lieve I'm goin down
by Kurt Vile
Kurt Vile’s hazy, introspective folk-rock somehow sounds more effortless with each album. B'lieve I'm Goin Downchronicles the low-key but disarmingly funny inner monologue of a seemingly ordinary dude—half Neil Young and half Winnie the Pooh. It starts with a long look in the bathroom mirror (“Pretty Pimpin”) and eventually makes it to the front door (“That’s Life, tho (almost hate to say)”), with some extraordinary insights along the way.
Track List
1) Pretty Pimpin
2) I'm an Outlaw
3) Dust Bunnies
4) That's Life, tho (almost hate to say)
5) Wheelhouse
6) Life Like This
7) All in a Daze Work
8) Lost my Head there
9) Stand Inside
10) Bad Omens
11) Kidding Around
12) Wild Imagination

Know It All
by Alessia Cara
Led by the downtempo outsider's anthem “Here,” the debut from Drake-cosigned singer Alessia Cara is like a club for people who never wanted to join one. Moving effortlessly from bleacher-banging pop (“Seventeen”) to Amy Winehouse–style soul (“Outlaws”) to sparky kiss-offs and vulnerable confessions, Cara—like Lorde—has the rare gift of being able to present the conflicted moods of youth with clarity and poise. She’s the contrarian who manages to bring all the other contrarians together.
Track List
1) Seventeen
2) Here
3) Outlaws
4) I'm Yours
5) Four Pink Walls
6) Wild Things
7) Stone (feat. Sebastian Kole)
8) Overdose
9) Stars
10) Scars to Your Beautiful
11) Here (2:00 AM Version)
12) River of Tears
13) My Song

Is there anybody out there?
by A Great Big World
Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino found success with “Say Something,” and the climactic pop-rock anthem “This Is the New Year.” With nods to the sunny synths of Owl City ("Cheer Up!”) and the theatrical cadence of The Rocket Summer (“Rockstar”), Is There Anybody Out There? is snappy and dynamic, able to find shape between its stark contrasts of boisterous pop and morose melodies.
Track List
1) Rockstar
2) Land of Opportunity
3) Already Home
4) I Really Want It
5) Say Something
6) You'll Be Okay
7) Everyone Is Gay
8) There Is an Answer
9) I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else
10) This Is the New Year
11) Shorty Don't Wait
12 Cheer Up!
13) Say Something | |
