CHANNEL ORANGE
by Frank Ocean

“Even though other recent interviews and richly realized tracks like those imply that Ocean's songwriting is just a vessel, his own devil is still in the details, and that's what makes his music compelling.”

GIVEN TO THE WILD
by The Maccabees
Released: 9 January 2012

THE ORIGIN OF LOVE
by Mika

AZARI & III
by Azari & III
Released: 17 February 2012
Score: 110,000 gold
“The result is louche and intoxicating. The sweet and honeyed tones of the vocalists belie their gender, though anyone who’s caught the quartet live, when the singers can be seen in heels and wigs, know their aesthetic is not dictated by chromosomes.”
