We’re back! It was a short month, but that didn’t stop these artists. Here are just a couple highlights of what our Sofar Alumni have been up to this past month:
1. Have you heard Madi Diaz’s newest single “Resentment (New Feelings Version)” yet? The track is from the artist’s upcoming EP, New Feelings, out March 4th via ANTI. The small collection features performances fromWaxahatchee, Angel Olsen, Courtney Marie Andrews & Natalie Hemby. Madi just wrapped up a tour with Waxahatchee, but she has more dates in April, so keep an eye out. Before all that though, revisit the artist’s buoyant Sofar that breaks wide open in the choruses.
2. Del Water Gap’s been on a strong streak of creativity and performance. The longtime Sofar alumni has released some viral songs over the last couple years, along with his self-titled LP last fall, had a recent sold out concert at Webster Hall, and made his late-night debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers. You can catch the artist on a slew of tour dates in the U.S., Canada, UK, and throughout Europe. You can also check out his stripped down, solo Sofar.
3. Seen Netflix’s The Power of The Dog yet? The Western Drama has received a string of Oscar nominations, including one for Jesse Plemons’ performance. And speaking of the actor, did you know he’s also a musician, and a Sofar alum? Take a look at his early Sofar performance.
4. At the top of the month, Adekunle Gold gave us his newest LP, Catch Me If You Can. We’re big fans of the Lagos/Los Angeles-based artist at Sofar (you can find his song “Mercy” on our Black Voices playlist). The album is smooth and stunning, and so is this full Sofar performance.
5. Last but not least, don’t forget to check out Andy Shauf’s new singles, “Satan” and “Jacob Rose,” two dreamy, sparse folky ones. The artist is in the midst of a run of U.S. tour dates, but he’s about to make his way to Canada, then jumping around Europe and the UK. For those who can’t get out, we’ve got this tender solo performance of “Worst in You” from the artist’s 2016 Sofar.
