Staff Picks With Lily Allen, Buddy, and Emmett Skyy

Senior Editor Brett Callwood

Lily Allen

"Nonmonogamummy"

I attended one of Lily Allen's recent Orpheum shows, and it was a powerful, heartbreaking experience. "Nonmonogamummy" is our pick from the new West End Girl album (which she's playing start-to-finish on this tour)--an upbeat pop banger, with devastating lyrical content. Being pushed into an open relationship is just fucking icky. We got ya, Lil.

Buddy

"Trouble on Central"

Buddy deserves more attention—this track is a whole ass vibe. 

Operations Manager Robin Rose

Emmett Skyy

"Black and White"

"Take the chains off your mind, it's time to choose to be free."
