Who is popular today?

Angel Olsen's new release, Whole New Mess, sounds like a lockdown album even though it isn't. Like Taylor Swift's Folklore, it has a quiet intimacy, as though written to be experienced alone rather than heard at top volume in a concert crowd. Like Charli XCX's How I'm Feeling Now, it was recorded quickly, deliberately lacking polish; a set of scribbled diary entries that are powerful because of the immediacy of the emotions expressed. You can hear her fingers sliding across the frets. "This one is just about me and a guitar and my songs. I missed that," she says when I speak to her. "A friend said to me the other day: 'What apt timing.' I was like: 'You know what? Misery is always in vogue.'"
