Stereogum's Album of the Week: Jay Som's 'Anak Ko' - mesmerizing self-portrait

"Operating as Jay Som’s sole songwriter, engineer, and producer, Melina Duterte has once again come away with a diverse set of songs held together more by her own intangible presence than by stylistic similarities" - Stereogum says in review of second album by Los Angeles indie-pop singer Jay Som. Referencing her family in the album title ('Anak Ko' means "my child"), new songs are "largely about wrestling toward self-acceptance and promoting kindness". Listen to album at BandCamp.
