Welcome to New Music Friday, NPR Music’s podcast dedicated to sharing the best albums out each week. We listen to dozens of new releases in advance, identify the ones we think you need to hear, and highlight our favorite five in a brisk mix of clips, context and commentary.<\/p>\n

\nThe podcast is hosted by NPR Music’s Stephen Thompson, and each episode features a member of the NPR Music Network of public radio stations. This week, our guest is Tennessee’s Jessie Scott of WMOT, where she serves as program director and hosts their live session show Wired In<\/i><\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n

\nScroll down to see which albums we discussed this week and links to our New Music Friday playlists, where you can hear singles from each album. Then scroll down to a new list, Dora’s Corner, where NPR Music production assistant Dora Levite shares her favorite albums that didn’t make the podcast.<\/p>\n
