Rowlene Bosman, a Cape Town singer who first broke through on Nasty C's 2018 track SMA, has released her second album Some Strings Attached, following a 2020 debut that earned a South African music award nomination and placements on Netflix's Blood & Water. The standout track Hurts 2b Reminded finds her mourning not death or romance but friends who are simply, amicably, elsewhere — a departure she has said cost her something to write.
The column also rounds up other new releases, including tracks from Hayley Williams's new band Power Snatch, 20-year-old producer Heavensouls, Vancouver's Sophia Stel, veteran producers Axel Boman and Superpitcher, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's techno side project, Shabazz Palaces, and Scottish group Garefowl.
