Arlo Parks makes music for the heart. The 20-year old singer-songwriter has released several songs in 2020 and each of them has the ability to heal even the deepest of cuts. Parks’ vocal stylization reveals empathy and comfort, making her an artist that is easy to relate to and one that you will certainly be rooting for. While her voice is undeniably beautiful, it is Parks’ poetic nature that shines through and defines her music.
2020 has been a huge year for the youngster as she released five singles, crushed a feature on Glass Animals’ “Tangerine”, and put together a smooth ‘A COLORS SHOW’. These milestones have attracted new fans and allowed for musical development, with Parks’ strongest tracks being released this year. While these successes should be relished, it is hard not to look towards the future and impatiently wait for the release of her debut album.

Parks announced that her debut LP, Collapsed in Sunbeams, will be released January 29, 2021 on Transgressive Records. After listening to her poignant EP Super Sad Generation, it is difficult to not have heightened expectations for this upcoming project, although no matter the outcome it will be interesting to examine the 20 year-olds artistic growth. Before the end of the year, hop on the Arlo Parks bandwagon and enjoy the undeniable uniqueness that makes her one of this year's best new artists. You will not regret it.
