Pop-rock star Bishop Briggs tops our list of new albums this week. CHAMPION is a forthright and inward collection of modern pop anthems. Also this week, hear what happens when Minneapolis rapper/singer Dessa takes the stage with the Minnesota Orchestra, dive into a collection of covers and holiday tunes from Lucy Dacus, and #PressPlay on a gorgeous instrumental album from Ryley Walker & Charles Rumback.
