Why do we like this?

Zara McFarlane already garnered rave reviews on her debut album, 2011's Until Tomorrow, and her recently released follow-up wants to up the ante.

"Police & Thieves" is a brilliantly sublime cut off her sophomore album, If You Knew Her. She fuses jazz musicality with a searing political commentary that zaps the sensationalism out of the issue and lifts up the humanity in it. The black British singer has a powerfully delicate voice and she's mastered how to use it.

For your late night drives, Sunday dinners, or just miscellaneous unwinding, Zara McFarlane's music makes 'adult contemporary' sound like a beautiful thing.

By Ralph Hendrik on Jun 15, 2017 | A year and a half ago Jorja Smith absolutely blew me away with her debut track. She's had one hell of a ride since and gained a large following quickly with the quality tracks she dropped after. Rightfully so, if you ask me. I strongly recommend wat... read more →
