Kitty, Daisy & Lewis - The Third

Everything old is new again for this sibling trio, whose latest album, produced by the Clash’s Mick Jones, features the deliciously retro sounds of old-school blues, rockabilly and R&B. The group, touring North America this spring, puts a bouncy spin on the murder ballad “Baby Bye Bye” and gets deliriously funky on “Feeling of Wonder.”

Andy Kim - It’s Decided

An unlikely friendship between the 68-year-old behind pop hits like the Archies’ “Sugar Sugar” and Broken Social Scene’s 38-year-old Kevin Drew has produced a surprisingly fine cross-generational album. Along with a dreamy update of Kim’s “Shoot ‘Em Up Baby,” it features gems like the breezy “Sail On” and the moody “Sister OK.”

Drake - If You’re Reading This, It's Too Late

The sensitive rapper toughens up on his latest. “I’ve got enemies,” he admits on “Energy.” Drake then takes shots at his adversaries on dark tracks like “No Tellin’” and “Used To.” But his vulnerability shines through on “You and the 6,” where he confesses that his mother and his hometown of Toronto “raised me right.”
