Today's Top Tune

The xx’s Romy hadn’t really considered herself a solo artist, though she wrote songs for others, until she slowly gained the confidence to go out on her own. Mid Air, Romy’s debut album, finds her working with three-time Grammy winning electronic producer Stuart Price, talented DJ Fred again, and xx bandmate Jamie xx for a frothy, ebullient mix. “loveher” celebrates the early stages of a new intimate relationship with a woman in an exceptional way.

London’s multidisciplinary artist and producer, Laura Misch , drops her long-awaited debut full-length on Friday, Sample The Sky, an album that compelled the artist to leave the confines of self-recording and connect to the outside world. “Listen To The Sky” serves as the nucleus of this collection of songs and resembles mother nature's patterns aurally.

Shara Nova, the mastermind behind My Brightest Diamond , serves up elegantly crafted songs with mathematical precision and emotional heft. That’s what you’ll hear when My Brightest Diamond takes the tiny stage as part of KCRW’s School Night at Bardot tonight. One song we hope to hear is “Black Sheep,” because it struts in like modern cabaret. Be sure to wait for the last bit at the very end to wipe away any Monday blues.

Being a producer, DJ, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist gives Roosevelt the tools to write and record an entire album himself. The result is Embrace, a deeply personal collection of songs forged after realizing that, at 30, most of his childhood friends have settled into “real jobs”; together, it’s his reminder to stay open to life’s ups and downs. “Ordinary Love” helps you get a jump on the weekend!

Revered producer and musician Danger Mouse has joined forces with renowned New York rapper Jemini to dust off off Born Again, an album recorded back in 2004 that was tucked away in a vault hasn’t seen the light of day since. After dropping their lauded debut Ghetto Pop Life in 2003, the duo quickly began laboring over its follow-up, but the recording was shelved indefinitely — til now. We are partial to the fun-loving bounce on “Brooklyn Bazquiat.”

Supernatural Thing is a curious title for M.Ward ’s latest studio album, so we’ll let him explain: “The title comes from an early thought as a kid that radio traveled the same airwaves as messages from supernatural things — and music, especially remembered music, is somehow tied up in this exchange,” says Ward.

Georgia , one of the UK’s premiere producers and songwriters, has collaborated with many artists, including Gorillaz and Shygirl. Having written her last two albums within a ten foot radius of her bedroom, Georgia made a point of seeking out a new physical and emotional space to write her next one. She trekked to Los Angeles to co-produce her album Euphoric with c0-founding Vampire Weekend member Rostam. “Some Things You’ll Never Know” emits bouncy pop feels.

Hailing from London’s creative epicenter, Rozi Plain stitches a cosmic sonic quilt on “Painted The Room.” A member of This Is The Kit, Plain’s fifth album Prize is a January sleeper to check out ASAP.

SoCal-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi instrumentalist Venus pulls inspiration from myriad sounds and is busy tinkering on an upcoming EP in her home studio. Easy and breezy, “Things Change” gently ushers us into a new direction.

Let’s go back to August 1977, when Fleetwood Mac returned to their adopted home of Los Angeles to play three sold-out nights at The Fabulous Forum on the Rumours tour for nearly 50,000 fans. Their chart-topping album was on its way to becoming one of the most successful recordings ever released, and eventually sold over 40 million copies. RUMOURS LIVE , almost 90 minutes long, has been locked up in a vault until now and reflects the energy and excitement of the first night on August 29, 1977. We’re excited to share a live version of their mega-hit “The Chain” with you!
