New Music Friday: The best releases out on June 16 toggle caption Jonathan Mannion/Courtesy of the artist We've got two big releases this week from artists who've returned after long breaks from their own work: Killer Mike has his first new solo album in more than a decade and Iceland's Sigur Rós is back with the band's first new studio album since 2013. Sigur Rós ÁTTA is a return to the band's earliest sound from the early 2000s — a soaring, symphonic and otherworldly wonder about the fragility of life and our infinitesimal place in the universe.

Featured Songs: "Mess About It," "Hard to Be a Human," "Plan B" Killer Mike — Michael Featured Songs: "Two Days," "Motherless," "Down By Law," "Scientists & Engineers," "Something for the Junkies " Sigur Rós — ÁTTA Featured Songs: "Klettur," "Skel," "Mór" Asake — Work of Art Featured Songs: "2:30," "Lonely at the Top," "What's Up My G" Meshell Ndegeocello — The Omnichord Real Book Featured Songs: "Georgia Ave.," "Good Good," "Call the Tune" Lightning Round: Ambré — who's loving you?
