Yael Naim – She (Spotify)
The journey of self-discovery consumes every artist. That is certainly the case with Yael Naim, the Parisian-born, Franco-Israeli singer-songwriter. In a career that has developed over the course of the last 20 years, the multi-instrumentalist and producer has been on a restless quest to create a sound world of her own across a string of increasingly absorbing albums – none more so than her latest offering, NightSongs. As its title suggests, this is a hugely intimate album that sees her breaking away from the established way in which she makes music. Her last album, Older (released in 2015 and certified gold in France the following year) was co-produced with her husband David Donatien who also co-wrote four songs. Donatien was also co-produced and collaborated with her on her two previous offerings, She Was A Boy (2010) and her self-titled 2007 effort, both of which were credited to the pair. This time around, the songs are purely hers, arranged and produced solely by Yael.

Lowercase People – Blooming (Spotify)
Lowercase People – Blooming (Spotify)
Lyrically revolving around the common misunderstanding and poor outlook Americans seem to have on homeless people, "Blooming", was intended to inspire people to love their fellow humans and to treat them as such. As far as the music goes, it was an experiment in restraint. We wanted to challenge ourselves to make a chill song and be slightly less indulgent than we have been with our other songs. We were very influenced by Scarypoolparty, Bjork, and DJ Shadow in the writing/recording process for this track.

Underhill is a 3 minute long ambient crescendo held together by a deep, atmospheric piano melody. Foxwood said " Named after my childhood home from earliest memory, it tries to evoke the warm and profound feelings of nostalgia that we attach to places throughout our lives."
