Julien Baker & Torres - Send a Prayer My Way
Label: Matador Genre: Indie Alt Country/Folk Reviewed by: Kayra Ersoy
Julien Baker & Torres is the coolest and most unexpected country/folk collaboration. This album is an ode to both artists' upbringings in such an expressive manner. The instrumentals will make you tap your foot while the lyrics scratch your noggin. Torres's lower and fuller singing tangoes with Baker's higher and raw voice, creating the most beautiful harmonies.

Adagio by Σtella is a beautiful album that she began making while on a boat in the mediterranean. It captures all the bubbly sounds of the ocean and has an upbeat danceable tune. It’s jazzy, pop-y, and fun. The album features sparkling keyboard, bouncy drums, soothing strings, and exciting electronic sounds. “Adagio”, the title track jumps the listener straight into the album with a sweet and soft ballad with a catchy and playful tune. Perfectly fitting a dinner party or cooking vibe. This is definitely a song you could play while romantically dancing around your kitchen in the late hours of the night. Track 4, “Baby Brazil” which features Las Palabras is bouncy, vibrant, and lively. Perfect summer beach-y song to listen to with friends. Track 5 “Can I say” is perfect for Laufey music enjoyers, the beat is very reminiscent of Laufey’s signature sound. Overall, Σtella does such a lovely job on this album, it all flows so seamlessly and carries a similar theme throughout. The feature of the Greek language within several of her songs also connects Stella to her roots as she grew up in the center of it all, Athens, Greece.
