Fibi Bridars "I Know The End"

There are many girls with guitars, but only units can create magic and carve sparks. A 25-year-old singer from Los Angeles, also known for the projects of Boygenuis and Better Oblivion Community Center, wrote an amazingly accurate emotion, at the same time an apocalyptic and spiritual anthem of the time. The refrain “The end is here” as a logical and inevitable result of 2020, which is already nothing to be afraid of. There is no death, there is only the wind.

Fardi "CIS"

The ideals of the Caucasian Brotherhood, seasoned with oriental motifs, cheerful recitiva and bats and multiplied by the pictures of the life of the migrant ghetto. The spectacular exit of Fardy Samedov, a rapper with Azerbaijani roots that grew up in Lake Baikal.

Dequine "NKTPS"

The 20-year-old Danel Sadykova is the latest star from Alma-Ata, the face of the Kazakh campaign #Metoo and the author of almost the best Russian-language pop album of the year. On her half -hour debut, a whole scattering of excellent tracks: the luxurious “in the West”, a politicized “femid”, the most delicate “native sound”, as well as a strict and clockwork “who you look like now”.

Listen to the album "Labum" whole: all platforms

Beyoncé "Black Parade"

Pop-Korolev deducted her near political manifesto on the agenda by the day of the abolition of slavery in the United States. All income from the track will be listed to support small businesses.

Having successfully worked on the fashion series , Roman Litvinov decided to sing again. It turned out as it should - anxiously, lyrical and angry.

Public Enemy "State of the Union (Stfu)"

The classics of hip-hop for a word never climbed into his pocket, and now they completely burst into the election campaign, cutting the president.

Vakula and Jamala "Pasters"

The co -author of the best tracks of the Dorn in recent years on his sololet gathered almost all the best Ukrainian musicians and with their help paid tribute to his favorite black music. The inspirers would definitely like it.

Listen to the album "outside of time" whole: all platforms

Anderson .paak "Lockdown"

Anderson Paac manages to speak about all the main problems of America even somehow too much. A striking endurance. Well, musically, as always, impeccable.

Ploho "Gorky Experience"

Minibus as a metaphor of all Russian life. Where are you rushing? Does not give an answer.

Rosemary Loves a blackberry

Diana Burkot, until recently, an anonymous Pussy Riot participant, on the third album of her solo project, discusses emotional burnout under the angular attractive electronics. In addition to the central number, I also want to allocate a cover for Angelica Varum (available on Bandcamp ).
