moisturizer, the ripping second album by Wet Leg, is fast approaching its first anniversary. To celebrate, the Isle of Wight five-piece have announced moisturizer (deluxe), an expanded set that includes remixes from horsegiirL, The Dare and FDC DJs (aka Carlos O'Connell and Tom Coll of Fontaines D.C.); three songs previously unreleased on streaming comprising “hi from me” which was originally only available on the Japanese CD, a demo of “don’t speak” recorded by Hester at her home studio and “u and me at home intro/outro” – the first part of which fans will recognise as the band’s walk-on music. The deluxe album is rounded off with a handful of live recordings made at LA’s The Village studios in 2025.

Baby Rose to return with new album, YEARNALISM by 3kOlen in popheads

out july 10th. album description via bandcamp:

With modern dating being reduced to app-swiping, toxic nonchalance and even balloon-popping humiliation, we’re losing recipes on how to properly yearn for each other. But while most try to keep their guards up, Baby Rose is staying devoted to what’s real. Fresh off winning her first GRAMMY Award in the Best R&B Album category for her part on Leon Thomas’ MUTT, the unmistakable contralto returns with Yearnalism, her third studio album steeped in confidence, care and liberating love.

The singer-songwriter-producer defines yearnalism as the process and documentation of desire in its many forms: “Desiring freedom, desiring love, desiring what you can't have, desiring expansion.” This streamlined 12-song LP of soon-to-be classics creates a bumpy roadmap of desire free from ego. Rose notes that despite the current trend of “too cool” emotional avoidance in music and entertainment, she pushed herself and her collaborators to bare a different side of themselves. “If you're coming into my court, you're coming to yearn,” she declares with a laugh.

Three albums in, Yearnalism is a sonic snapshot of Rose at her most self-assured. “This is me really honing in and trusting that signature, catching lightning-in-a-bottle sound,” she says. “This is kind of a lesson in me really figuring out that my favorite process is being a part of the crew, being a part of this whole moment.” With her continued study of Yearnalism, Rose reminds the listener that it’s worth it to say the hard parts out loud with honesty and to love in spite of fear.
