Meshell Ndegeocello - Red Hot & Ra
"Red Hot + Ra: The Magic City" is Meshell Ndegeocello's latest nod to the jazz giant Sun Ra, and it's out under the banner of the Red Hot Organization. Meshell isn't just paying tribute; she teams up with legends like the 99-year-old sax master Marshall Allen and the versatile Pink Siifu to mix things up. This isn't her first rodeo with Red Hot — it's her third with the organization — and she keeps diving deeper into jazz and experimental sounds, making each track a fresh exploration of Sun Ra’s universe.
Jebediah - OIKS
Jebediah, that Aussie rock band you might remember from songs like "Harpoon" and "Leaving Home," is dropping their first album since 2011. Titled "OIKS". This sixth studio album packs eleven tracks, featuring bangers like "Rubberman" and "Motivation." Fresh off their induction into the West Australian Music Industry Hall of Fame, they're not just resting on their laurels—Jebediah is also kicking off a massive tour across Australia with Magic Dirt.
