It was with great sadness that we heard of the passing of John Prine last week from the COVID-19 virus. John was a songwriter of the highest quality who told unique stories with wonderful poetic lyricism and great musicality. An icon of the Americana scene he achieved the highest levels in the genre although never broke through to mainstream chart success. Ann Powers wrote a beautiful tribute for NPR. We’ll enjoy tracks from his first and greatest album, the self titled John Prine from 1971. The stories on these songs, ones of thought for the aged (“Hello In There”), the struggles of returning veterans from Vietnam (“Sam Stone”) and perhaps autobiographical resignation (“Quiet Man”) speak to us now as much as fifty years ago. RIP.

Just in case that album cover isn’t argument enough, this album avoids any concerns over the dreaded ‘second album’. It convincingly delivers track after track of unbounded joy, great melodies blended with 80s synths and a few well chosen samples. Although “Break My Heart” has been chosen as the third single, that honour really belongs to track three, the catchy “Cool”.

An aptly titled album in the middle of a pandemic, 5SOS bring another album of inspired pop. Less than two years after their smash hit album Youngblood this one might not have quite had the exposure of that album but still features some strong singles – Wildflower, No Shame and Teeth in particular.

Acclaimed Kiwi pop quartet Yumi Zouma have come up with another pearler. Recorded in Los Angeles, London and Christchurch, AllMusic describes this album as “sweet, cozy and melodically engaging”. We think you’ll enjoy this sweet album in these crazy times.

Nadia Reid is based in Port Chalmers, New Zealand. On this, her third album, she offers a polished and sweet selection of heartfelt songs. Hypnotic!

A beautifully crafted country album – we’re looking forward to playing this very consistent album. AllMusic describe it as possessing a ” delicate richness; it’s music for meditative mornings or for afternoons in need of a dose of consolation and comfort”.
Its been another year of great music, too much really to take in and certainly too much to summarise in only 40 songs. We had to lob off some great tracks to get down to this list. Listen in tomorrow afternoon from 3 or check out our playlist on Apple Music.
More fantastic new Kiwi music from Robinson!
