It's Friday and you know what that means, there's an obnoxious amount of new albums headed towards your nearest record store and digital streaming services. I don't know if today was "Lets Drop Gems Friday" but I am not complaining. Here's what to look out for... 

'Expectations', Hayley Kiyoko's debut album, is first on the list of albums released today that you should take a listen to. Kiyoko encourages those who check out the record to listen to it from start to finish, as she intended it to be heard. This record seems like a long time coming from the former Disney Star who is carving out a name for herself in pop music. Listen HERE

Kacey Musgraves' third studio album 'Golden Hour' dropped today. If you need to be convinced to take a listen to the album, just watch her perform a single from the record 'Slow Burn' on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. I was sold after the first note. Watch it HERE

The Weeknd's new album, 'My Dear Melancholy,' dropped at midnight. *Inserts joke about The Weeknd dropping a record on Friday* With hosting only 6 tracks, some are confused as to if it's album or just an EP. Take a listen to the new album HERE

Queen of Jeans Debut record 'Dig Yourself' was released to all streaming platforms. If you want Dreamy, Beachy, Nostalgic vibes you've found the right album. Take a listen to the band's new record HERE

There's been quite the buzz around the new Amen Dunes album 'Freedom'. Being noted as one of the best records released this year thus far.  I just ordered a beautiful clear and blue pressing of the record that should be arriving next month. Until then them I'll be listening to the record HERE

COMING IN HOT! A NEW SINGLE FROM QUEEN OF JEANS! TAKE A LISTEN:

 

When trying to explain the sound of South Philly's female fronted band, Queen of Jeans, one would say (according to bandcamp) they're a "2016 revival of a 90s throwback to the 60s". As confusing as that may sound, it's terribly accurate. Yesterday the band released their second single titled "U R My Guy", from their upcoming debut album 'Dig Yourself'. The album, releasing March 31st, will be pressed on a Clear w/ Black, Blue & Green Splatter Vinyl LP pictured below:

Pre-Order a copy HERE

They're a band I'm constantly wanting to hear new material from. Last summer I had the pleasure of checking them out when they came to Boot and Saddle and opened for Palehound last summer. They closed out the show with a cover of Aaliyah's 'Are You That Somebody' and I was sold. If you know me you know that Aaliyah is my GURL, and I'm very critical of anyone that attempts a cover. They drew me in with hypnotic harmonies and their self proclaimed "crockpot pop". After the show, I managed to nab a copy of their Self-Titled EP that night on this beautiful Pink and Baby Blue Splatter paint pressing.

I remember being surprised that it was a colored pressing when I got home that night, which was a delight. Paralleling my evening I saw them preform, they were a present surprise, and a band that puts on one hell of a show.  I suggest you take a listen to the new single, and find out when you can catch them when they come to town. The tour kicks off in Philly with an album release show on 3/31 at Underground Arts and to find the remaining dates head over to their site.
