Beach House 3 by Ty Dolla $ign via Apple Music 20 Songs EDITORS’ NOTES Ty Dolla $ign raises the bar for the third installment of Beach House, a mixtape series that old fans hold in very high esteem. The album carries no shortage of the smirk-inducing, club-ready sex talk he broke with, but also ruminates on fame and its pressures,

Flicker is a disarming and deeply personal set whose warmth recalls ‘70s folk-rock (“Fire Away”), but with a romantic urgency that feels evergreen (“This Town”).

Over beats from Jam City, Bok Bok, Kingdom, and Arca—which swerve from warped and aqueous to warm and lush to icy and danceable—Kelela turns her emotions inside out with a sultriness and
