WHAT IT IS: Luscious, expressive vignettes pepper the poetic lyrics of Arlo Parks’ sweet, ruminative indie pop songs. The Londoner’s career took off after the release of her debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, earlier this year. The critically acclaimed the 12-track collection displays the singer/songwriter’s versatility, highlighting infectious vocal melodies layered over hip-hop beats. Nominated for three BRIT Awards, this alt/R&B singer has established herself as one of the most promising songwriters in the game at just 20 years old.
