We've Got Freaknasty Prince and Ethereal Pop on This Week's Playlist

It's album-release day, after all, even if "album" means something a bit different than it used to.

We used to do this on the weekend, but we're trying something new—Tuesdays! It's album-release day, after all, even if "album" means something a bit different than it used to. And it couldn't be a stronger week to kick off the new format: Tinashe teams up with Dev Hynes, SBTRKT previews a doozy of a new album, and none other than Prince drops a deuce on us (no, really). Add to that new tracks from Kendrick Lamar (drop that album already!) and Zola Jesus, and our ears are in heaven. Or at least they're in a good mood. Which is strange, because they're, y'know, ears. But we'll overlook a little ascribing-sentience-to-sensory-organs if you will!

As usual, we've added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone YouTube playlist for this week. Keep the recommendations coming.
