Music Friyay: Poly Styrene, Donnie & Joe Emerson, Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Poly Styrene - Translucence

Styrene’s 1980 solo album is a gift - and incredibly underrated.

Donnie & Joe Emerson - Dreamin’ Wild

The duo’s 1979 album was largely ignored and unheard of until recent years when it was rediscovered. It defies and combines so many genres (soft rock to funk) that it’s truly timeless.

Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein - Native Son (soundtrack)

The duo is largely known for creating the music to the popular TV show Stranger Things, but their work on the 2019 film, Native Son, is also incredible.
