Less than a month into 2021, London-based musician and poet Arlo Parks has already delivered one of the year’s standout albums. A series of intimate vignettes, the record explores her adolescence and the people who shaped it, rooted in storytelling and nostalgia. It’s an emotional journey through heartbreak, poetry, betrayal, and hope, drawing inspiration from the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Sylvia Plath, Jim Morrison, and Fela Kuti. One listen, and you’ll fall in love—just as you did when you first discovered Frank Ocean, King Krule, or Lily Allen.
