R&B/SOUL
Erykah Badu
New AmErykah
As one of the most unique artists in the genre, Erykah Badu takes it a step further with "New AmErykah." In her first release since 2003, Badu integrates some psychedelic stylings with her already successful brand of neo-soul to create a collection of tracks that brings something fresh to the table.
CHRISTIAN/METAL/HARDCORE
Mychildren Mybride
Unbreakable
With their long-awaited first release on Solid State Records, Mychildren Mybride carries over the same energetic sound that fans are used to, but with a more refined and polished execution. Hailing from "The Middle of Nowhere, Alabama," Mychildren Mybride passes along the Christian word, all while keeping it light hearted. Track four, HEADSHOT!, for instance is dedicated to the joys of playing Halo. That said, Mychildren Mybride means business. After all, frontman Matthew Hasting rocks a mustache.
