Definitely more of an “urban”-oriented week in new releases. Though not a bevy of major blockbusters hitting the streets this time around, there are some very interesting, wide-ranging albums coming from veteran hip-hop stars, indie darlings, a pop princess and a soul singer that could become very well known, very soon.
Eve makes her big return, dropping her first album since George W. Bush’s 1st term, as does Vampire Weekend, who attempt to shake off their trademark sound and are surprisingly successful in doing so.
