Today's Top Tune

Ben Harper pays tribute to Innocent Criminals bassist and friend Juan D. Nelson via song, saying, “Since 1993, Juan Leon and I spun around this world so fast and as far as we could dream together.” Here is Ben Harper & Ziggy Marley on “Spin It Faster.”

“Omaemo,” Japanese for “you too,” can be found on Tokyo-based singer/songwriter Yuma Abe’s debut solo album, “Fantasia.” The song captures a moment of unexpected introspection, joined by Devendra Banhart on guitar.

After a year spent in her room, barely able to see beyond the magnolia tree in her backyard in Nashville, Adia Victoria wondered what stories she’d have to tell when she emerged. Turns out she’ll have plenty to share on her forthcoming album “A Southern Gothic,” executive produced by T Bone Burnett. We’ll start with the gem, “Magnolia Blues.”

The shapeshifting sound of Unknown Mortal Orchestra continues on their excursion of soulful hooks and layered production with frontman Ruban Nielson at the center of “That Life.”

You may know Kawan DeBose for his stint on Season 12 of “The Voice.” This time, he’s teaming up with local folk hero Inara George to share his jazzy reggae inspired song, “Wait.”

Dos Santos’ “City of Mirrors” draws inspiration from Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “100 years of Solitude,” likening Puerto Rico to the town of Macondo. It’s a song of fortitude, struggle, and hopefully triumph.

Emerging from the heart of Appalachia, RBTS WIN produce a heady mix of chaos and harmony on “Some Daze.”

Singer-songwriter Erin McKeown thought she was too smart to be taken by surprise by love. After a brief but powerful tryst, McKeown found herself asking many questions that lead to the witty and astute “Cupido Stupido.”

Can a downtempo jam be subversive? That’s what New Zealanders Arjuna Oakes and Serebii are thinking with their song “Satellites” and lyrics like "You should be fighting for this // You could defy their orders." But don’t worry, that attitude builds character.

By the end of the week, we’ll all have access to the new Kiefer album. A song we already admire is the lush, piano-driven sound of “i remember this picture,” an instrumental dive into the feeling of nostalgia that old photos bring out.
