All Songs Considered : NPR Music : NPR

Welcome to New Music Friday, NPR Music’s podcast devoted to sharing the very best albums out every week. We hearken to dozens of recent releases prematurely, determine those we predict you have to hear, and spotlight our favourite 5 in a brisk mixture of clips, context and commentary.

The podcast is usually hosted by NPR Music’s Stephen Thompson, however this week All Songs Considered‘s Robin Hilton steps in to steer the ship alongside our visitor, Raina Douris of World Cafe, Public radio’s solely nationally syndicated each day music present.

Scroll all the way down to see which albums we mentioned this week and hyperlinks to our New Music Friday playlists, the place you may hear singles from every album. Then scroll all the way down to see the lengthy checklist and Dora’s Corner, the place NPR Music manufacturing assistant Dora Levite shares her favourite albums that did not make the podcast.
