Jean Grae, “Mask”

Good morning! Lots of music to distract you until your lunch break: Jean Grae is releasing a surprise EP today called Jeannie; “Mask” is available for streaming and embedded above. (Jean, being Jean, has also recently launched a sitcom called Life With Jeannie and released another EP, Gotham Down, in the fall. I’ve had “Before the Summer Broke” on loop all week.) Elsewhere, NPR’s First Listen is streaming the sophomore album from Warpaint, the all-female band from Los Angeles who once made spelling sound this good. Warpaint is due out next Tuesday.
