Producer and multi-instrumentalist Momoko Gill has announced her debut solo album, ‘Momoko’, arriving 13th February on Strut Records. The celebrated collaborator for artists like Matthew Herbert and Alabaster DePlume steps forward with two powerful singles. ‘No Others’ showcases her jazz-inflected grooves, while ‘When Palestine Is Free’ unites fifty voices from London’s music scene in a profound statement of community and solidarity.
Swiss-Portuguese guitarist Tiago Almeida releases “Rivages,” an artistic exploration of Portuguese fado reimagined for the classical guitar. The album is a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, drawing on influences from jazz, classical, and even electronic music. Exploring profound themes of migration and identity, “Rivages” promises to be a significant and unique addition to the contemporary classical guitar repertoire.
Algerian Tuareg collective Imarhan will release their fourth album, ‘ESSAM’, on January 16th, 2026. Recorded in their Tamanrasset studio, the record marks a significant evolution, weaving modern electronic textures and modular synths into their foundational desert blues sound. The hypnotic lead single, “Derhan n’oulhine,” offers the first taste of this new exploratory direction and is accompanied by a stunning new video.
