He now releases 2,520 albums per week (approximate figure). To help you sort, here is Radio Nova’s weekly selection of albums not to be missed.
Keziah Jones – Alive & Kicking (Sanyaolu Music / Because Music)
Keziah Jones returns after ten years of absence with a true manifesto recorded live in Lagos, Nigeria. It mixes revisited classics, two new songs, “Melissa” and “Rainy Saturday” and covers by The Police and Rick James. The album, recorded with his longtime musicians, marks a new era for blufunk pioneer Keziah Jones. A unique style, fusion of blues, funk, punk and Yoruba rhythms, which inspired artists like Burna Boy or Wizkid.
FKA twigs – Eusexua (Atlantic Records)
A state, filled with euphoria, after dancing all night in clubs where time is no longer a constraint, this is what FKA twigs has in store for us with their new album EUSEX. For several months, Twigs has been dropping clues about her networks and three titles —- “Eusexua, Perfect Stranger” and “Drums of Death” — which announce a new project perfect to accompany your rave nights. Or your (more sensual) dream nights. EUSEXit is ultimately a state of euphoria that transpires, a magnificent and meditative state.
Army – Airbag Woke Me Up (Because)
His pen dipped in the world of Ken Loach, Jeshi becomes the voice of a battered, sacrificed generation. The East London rapper delivers an airy spleen that confronts drill and 2step. After his first album Universal Credit — highly appreciated by the editorial staff — Jeshi returns with new raw texts, without artifice, but with new musicality. His latest teaser “SAINT OR SINNER”, a collaboration with rising Leicester star Sainté, sets the tone. A table of his people, to listen to from January 24.
Youssoupha – AMOUR SUPREME (99 Revolution)
Youssoupha returns to the spotlight with AMOUR SUPREMEa new album placed under the sign of spirituality, elevation, and the celebration of its cultural wealth. More tender, more contemplative, this album explores rarer themes and sounds in the music of Youssoupha, who does not forget what makes these texts crisp: the percussive and incisive punchlines. From the first to the thirteenth tracks, they follow one another and each take their turn, magnified by instrumentals with varied styles between rap, gospel, soul, griot songs and afrobeat.
Central Cee – CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS (Columbia Records)
For Central Cee the more albums are released, the more they are provided. After a 14 titles in 2021 and a 15 titles in 2022, Central Cee continues to delight these fans a little more with CAN’T RUSH GREATNESSa third album of 17 tracks. Between the elite of US rap with Lil Baby, Lil Durk or 21 Savage, the new face of Puerto Rican pop with Young Miko or local stars Skepta and Dave, Central Cee offers the best cast he has ever brought together on an album.
TEDDY SWIMS : I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Part 2
We loved his track Bad Dreams (to the point of adding it to Nova’s playlist), released at the start of the 2024 school year, and we had to wait until the start of 2025 to finally see it released I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Part 2 by Teddy Swims. Surrounded by the most beautiful voices of the American RNB scene like Giveon or Muni Long, Teddy Swims enchants us with his suave, slightly broken voice, in an album imbued with melancholy and poetry.
