Regina Sector: Home, Before and After (Warner)
Regina Spektor came to New York from Moscow when she was nine. Her eighth studio album brings together new and old songs, which until now have only been known from her live repertoire, in such a beguilingly lulling way that one has to agree with a YouTube comment: “The earth is healing!” Sinem Kilic, critic
Grim 104: Empire (Buback)
On his third solo album, Grim 104, one half of Zuzüge Masculine, musically reappraises his (Western) youth. There are more lessons in gloom. The chronically snapping rapper is drawn to the dark side of life, and this album’s sinister trap collages fit that. Torsten Groß, moderator
Jochen Distelmeyer: Felt Truths (Sony)
The title sounds as if Jochen Distelmeyer had joined the Romantics 13 years after his last solo work or had succumbed to post-factual thinking. Alongside urban pop, country (!), folk and blues, he tells of odysseys and catastrophes, sex and sin, schizophrenia and capitalism. Maik Bruggemeyer, Rolling Stone
Moor Mother: Jazz Codes (Anti)
When Camea Ayewa was writing her poetry collection Jazz Codes, she asked a producer friend for loops from his jazz box. He sent a hundred. From this, the Afrofuturistic artist created a condensed sound collage of voices, beats, improvisations and a number of guest contributions. Confusing. If it weren’t for this gentle flow that pulls you into a female version of jazz history. Kai Müller, Tagesspiegel
