Summary
Today's Top Tune: Arlo Parks ‘Heaven’
With “Heaven,” Arlo Parks dives headfirst into the underground. Drawing inspiration from NYC’s queer club lineage, from Paradise Garage to modern juke nights, and the bass-heavy pulse of UK electronic music, the song trades live-band warmth for modular synths and driving techno rhythms. It’s a bold, dancefloor-ready glimpse of Ambiguous Desire (out April 3), her most confident and experimental work yet.
