'Take Time'
Giveon
Epic Records
Primed for a major breakthrough, Long Beach-born R&B singer and songwriter Giveon unveiled his highly anticipated debut EP, "Take Time," March 27. DJ Booth claimed, "More than just deep, however, Giveon's voice is uniquely emotive. On songs like his recent breakout, 'Like I Want You,' it positively cackles atop the stripped-back production."
'Open Wide'
Cowboy Mouth
It has been said that on a bad night Cowboy Mouth can do no less than blow the roof off, and on a good night they'll save your soul. That's as true in 2020 as it was when they first burst out of New Orleans in 1990. The four-piece released their new EP, "Open Wide," on March 27 -- five songs ranging from head-knocking rock 'n' roll to funky riffage to a good old-time sad country song.
'100'
RAVENSCRY
The female-fronted, melodic metal band is launching back into the global metal scene with the highly anticipated "100." With more energy, more melody and even smarter lyrics, "100" stays true to the core of the group's sound while remaining accessible enough to hook even more new listeners. The album sums up the human experience, from epic highs to soul-crushing lows.
