Record Of The Week: ‘Collapsed In Sunbeams’ By Arlo Parks

About The Record

Arlo Parks is a British poet and singer-songwriter, and WNXP selected her debut album Collapsed in Sunbeams as Record of the Week.

The dozen-song set is powered by supple, neo-soul grooves, which she recorded in a home studio setup with producer and instrumentalist Gianluca Buccellati. Parks’ intimate, mellow vocal delivery and empathetic eye for detail are already connecting with listeners all over the world in a refreshing and reassuring way.

Her first full-length amounts to a bedroom pop masterpiece steeped in adolescent experience.
