Singer-songwriter releases, week 44

This week's singer-songwriter highlights include new releases from Phoebe Bridgers, Michael Kiwanuka, and John Mayer, alongside live recordings and reissues from established figures like Bob Dylan and Glen Hansard. Albums from emerging artists such as Flower Face and Josh Rouse join projects from veterans like Alan Jackson and John Anderson, reflecting a broad spectrum of introspective songcraft. Special attention is drawn to Rosalía’s sheet music release, Olivia Rodrigo’s chart resurgence, and the posthumous tribute to The Pogues by Hansard. The week also features reflections on legacy, with tributes to Dolly Parton, John Anderson, and a renewed focus on the emotional depth of songwriting across generations.
