3) Oscar Winning Tears – RAYE
After recently parting ways with a major label, RAYE’s independently released album ‘My 21st Century Blues,’ showcases her most honest and powerful material so far. ‘Oscar Winning Tears’ is, as the title would suggest, a grandiose-sounding recount of a messy breakup. This one is sure to pull at your heartstrings.
4) Integration – Fred Everything Dub – Milton Jackson, Ski Oakenfull
Despite never having met in person, the pair’s latest offering is a 4-track EP called Integration.
