Staff Picks: Jay Som - Anak Ko

For fans of: Dreamy but sophisticated indie-pop.

What they're saying: A review from the very discerning music blog The Quietus calls Anak Ko “stunning” and a showcase of Melina Mae Duterte’s depth as a producer. The Guardian’s Kitty Empire finds the above embedded tune reminiscent of UK pop legends Prefab Sprout in her glowing review!

What we say: This is a major step forward by an artist we already loved. It’s a feel-good listen that manages to work a wide range of sounds (all the way from from shoegaze to soft-funk) quite cohesively. It’s a great record to get lost in.
