PRESS PLAY: 7 New Albums Out June 19th!
Bigger Love couldn’t be a more appropriate title for the new album from EGOT member (and UPenn grad) John Legend. While many of the songs were written last year, his message of spreading love endures and connects in a much needed way right now. And, oh yeah – that voice! Also out today, Rough and Rowdy Ways, the 39th studio album from Bob Dylan and first of original songs in eight years. Few artists can draw you in and captivate quite like Phoebe Bridgers. Punisher, her new album, is another example of what a special songwriter she is. Homegrown is a record that was so intimate and personal to Neil Young, he resisted releasing in 1975. It arrives today. Plus, new music from soul singer Don Bryant, musician and activist Michael Franti, and Philly indie rockers Commonwealth Choir. #PressPlay and enjoy!
