It's no secret that we adore Arlo Parks and I can't express how excited I was for her debut full-length album Collapsed In Sunbeams that got out today.

I shared all my thoughts and impressions in my album review but if you're in a hurry, there's absolutely one track you gotta hear - "Bluish".

It's a spectacular combination of Kaytra-like future-beats, spaced-out synths, and her mellow vocals - something I didn't quite expect from Arlo Parks, given her previous melancholic & jazz/soul-inspired work but... oh, my!

I know it's New Music Friday and there's plenty of tracks in your queue but believe me - play Collapsed In Sunbeams from start to end.
