This is the third solo studio album from the Massachusetts-born artist, he had done some work in the 2010’s with a group called Post Animal.

Rachel Chinouriri – Little House
British singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri is releasing her sophomore album tonight, titled Little House. Her past works have seen great reviews from critics and listeners alike, and giving a couple of songs a quick listen, I can see why.
Grace VandwerWaal – CHILDSTAR
The former America’s Got Talent winner is coming out with her second album tonight. Her albums have seen good success on the charts in the past, with her debut album charting at 22 on the Billboard 200. Pretty impressive, considering that she was 13 years old at the time of release, making her, without a doubt, a child star.
Pretty good list of albums to start off this month, and I’m excited to see how the rest of the month will go.
