Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun (2025)


Midnight Sun is a radiant, effervescent pop record that finds Zara Larsson shining brightest when she leans into her Scandinavian roots and personal voice. The title track captures the unending summer night with shimmering synths and anthemic hooks, while songs like “Pretty Ugly” and “Crush” allow her to experiment with edgier production and emotional nuance. The album smoothly shifts between high-energy dance numbers and quieter, introspective moments, giving it both momentum and breathing space. Larsson’s vocal performance feels confident and warm—she asserts control over her sound and narrative in a way that feels less performative and more authentic. Overall, Midnight Sun doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does polish it with care—and in doing so, offers her strongest full statement to date.

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel.
