Pulling off a whole album circling around the theme of motherhood coming from a male artist is - quite frankly speaking - exactly what we need in 2019. Devendra Banhart may be one of the few contemporary male artists who are able do that with a great deal of sensitivity, warmth and openness. His latest work 'Ma' combines all of these characteristics beautifully while approaching the topic in its full spectrum.
Sadness can come from many places and one thing has remained for sure in the past years: Music can be both - translator and accelerator for these feelings. Bored Nothing's tragic self-titled debut from 2012 is exactly such an album and it clearly had an effect on the beloved Swedish newcomers.
