Moses Sumney - Grae
Charli XCX - How I'm Feeling Now
Noah Cyrus - The End of Everything
And I guess I'll check out this Future album, though he's not usually for me unless it's a feature haha

As a fellow Pop Tart - can I suggest a few pop-tart adjacent albums? Perfume Genius and Thao and the Get Down Stay Down. Thao is from the northern VA area. I think you'd dig them both.
 
Updates:

Moses Sumney - Grae. This album is great and seems like the kind of album that will continue to grow on me over time.

Charli XCX - How I'm Feeling Now. Good enough to warrant more listens, but I'm not usually a big Charli fan.

Noah Cyrus - The End of Everything. This one too was good enough to earn some more listens. The whole reason this was on my radar was because of this song with Leon Bridges:

I was disappointed to see she included a version without Leon. The album version is good too, but the Leon version is great. I don't know what it is about this song but man it moves me and is just heart wrenching; I can feel the emotion in her voice. I can (and have) listened to that song on repeat for periods of time I don't want to admit to haha

@Teeeee I really like that Thao and the Get Down Stay Down album, definitely going to be listening to that one more. Thanks for the rec! I'm going to preface this next statement with a bit of a story(?) haha whenever I recommend music to someone I always tell them to tell me the truth about whether or not they like it, as opposed to thinking it would upset me if they told me they didn't like something I recommended. That way I know not to recommend that type of music to them anymore and so they know I understand everyone's music tastes are different. That's one of the things that makes music so great. So taking that mentality, honestly, Perfume Genius just isn't for me. I've never really been able to get into them and this album didn't really grab me either. Glad you're liking it though!

That's what is so great about music - there is something for everyone! And you don't have to like it all.

This Thao album is pretty darn cool. There is more of an edge to it than her previous albums. I'm getting HUGE Blonde Redhead vibes. With a splash of YYYs.

At least I went 1 for 2. :)

Exactly!haha and yeah, I like it a lot. During one of the first two tracks I got a crazy Beastie Boys vibe for a second haha I think that speaks to that edge. I know the styles are very different, but something had me thinking Beasties

Well, if we are ever allowed to go to shows again and she comes to DC, perhaps we should go.

In 2036. ;)
 
Vale-Smith - Are You Sick Of Being Unlucky? has been the standout new artist find in @Tj. list. I've listened to that album a couple of times now and it's really good. Dinosaur and Jess Williamson on the docket to check out properly next. I skim through the list listening to 20 second snippets of each album and anything that piques my interest gets set aside to listen in full.

I use a similar method when making the list, mostly just quickly sampling the singles for anything that sounds interesting or promising. I really like that Vale-Smith too, that Jess Williamson album has some amazing moments on it, and I enjoyed that Dinosaur album on first listen yesterday. My personal favorite discovery has been Sex Swing, it's noisy and loud and melts my brain.
