Here are three new releases for music fans to check out this month:
“Hills of Tyrone,” We Are Messengers
The Irish pop-rock act, known for the multiweek No. 1 hit “Come What May” as well as “Image of God,” “Power,” “Maybe It’s Ok,” “God With Us,” “This Is Jesus” and a number of other top-10-charting contemporary Christian music singles, returns with a new EP. It’s a great listen from start to finish, delivering seven memorable songs — including the lovely title track and the gorgeous “Father Would You Hold My Hand” — in just over 23 minutes.
“Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” Lana Del Rey
We are digging the two singles we’ve heard — the title track and “A&W” — and fully expect the rest of Del Rey’s 16-track ninth album will be excellent as well. The recording, which follows the 2021 releases “Chemtrails over the Country Club” and “Blue Banisters,” features Jon Batiste, Father John Misty, Bleachers and others. It’s due out March 24.
“Voice Notes,” Yazmin Lacey
Having already charmed listeners on three EPs, the British soul singer definitely appears ready to take her career to the next level with the release of her full-length debut. The album is jazzy cool, brimming with great lines and a voice that deserves to be heard by millions.
