Studio Apartment – Nihon no Uta
Nihon no Uta’s got introductions and interludes that connect the whole album together as if they really were a whole. However, musically, these songs and collaborations couldn’t be more far apart from each other.
Hebe Tien – To Hebe
In her debut, just titled To Hebe, S.H.E member Hebe writes a letter to herself about the complicated dealings of love and self-love.
Marit Larsen – Spark
Marit Larsen’s The Spark is certainly more pop rock than ever, with really soft hints of folk with a grandeur background orchestra.
Bibi Zhou – Black.Choice.White
The sound in Black.Choice.White marks a distinct path for Bibi, broadening her vocal range but still keeping a cohesive feel that makes it her most complete album since her NOW/WOW days.
Andrea Echeverri – Dos
Andrea Echeverri’s second album, Dos, sounds more folk with a mix of subtle lo-fi and strong Latino family fiesta.
Kristin Chenoweth – Some Lessons Learned
You think you know someone, and then they release a country album.
Brown Eyed Girls – Sixth Sense
Brown Eyed Girls release Sixth Sense, and they sound cabaret, swing, Latin and jazz without ever leaving Kpop… if such a thing is possible.
SingerSen – Sirens
SingerSen’s sound is infectious, the beats are Guy Sigsworth’s signature, but added to her Mandarin vocals, it gives the production a killer distinctiveness.
Laure Shang – in (Album)
Laure Shang swifts through genres with ease as she continues exploring pop with electronic sounds, as well as going through a softer version of hard rock, ethnic tones, new wave and blues.
