Album Highlights
Why You Will “Dig” Arlo Parks’
Collapsed In Sunbeams
It’s a collection of smart, mature R&B, gently kissed with pop and jazz overtones. Despite the seriousness of the subject matter, the songs on Parks’ debut album are surprisingly heartening. It’s ideal listening during the stressful, isolated times we find ourselves in.
