Sarah Blasko - Forgotten World (2026) Hi-Res

Sarah Blasko's seventh album I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain (Nov 1) is full of late night reflections on goodbyes, grief and new beginnings. She is as expansive as she is prolific, writing songs that strike with rare immediacy, clarity and purpose.

Sorry Monks, aka British singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Oliver Flanagan, will formally release his next album Nowhere Man on April 1st, but first there’s this other full-length. The Flora and Fauna CD brings together the songs from the digital-only EPs The Meaning of Love, When The Movie Ends, and Flora and Fauna. These aren’t just any songs, but near-perfect gems with jangly guitars that produce a heart-on-sleeve spring sound and shimmering vocals with a pleasantly frayed edge. Rooted in the mid-60s, but via influences from acts like James and Stereophonics—my guess—landed in the here and now. Warm, melodic, and gently timeless; this kind of subtle songwriting never goes out of style.
