June: 8 urban releases you need to hear this month
Joey Bada$$, Niaa, Rejjie Snow and more
ALMA 'Chasing Highs' (PME Records)
ALMA is anti-expectation. A 21-year-old Finnish pop sensation who sits somewhere between SIA, Amy Winehouse and Beth Ditto, her new single has the sass of r’n’b with the uplift of great pop; seven-year-olds the country over will join adults in rejoicing to ‘Chasing Highs’. Already quite a sensation following her debut ‘Dye My Hair’, expect this neon explosion to own 2017.
