London singer and songwriter Anaïs Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho, born in 2000, records as Arlo Parks, and Collapsed in Sunbeams, her 2021 debut album on Transgressive Records, arrived sounding like a diary left open on the night bus: soft-spoken, intimate, warm around the edges. Critics fell for it, it climbed to number three on the UK Albums Chart, and it took that year's Mercury Prize, with Brit Award nods for Best New Artist, Best British Female Solo Artist and Album of the Year on top. She picked up a Libera Award for Best Breakthrough Artist as well.
The songs travel light. "Hurt" rides a loose, head-nodding groove, while "Black Dog", "Hope" and "Eugene" keep her murmured vocals right up close, all hushed confession and gentle pulse. "Softly" followed in 2022, and My Soft Machine arrived in 2023 with "Devotion", which leans harder on the guitars, and the dreamier drift of "Weightless".
