Speaking of the album, A R I Z O N A's lead singer Zachary Charles reportedly said it "isn't a story as much as it is a collection of vignettes crafted over a few of our most individually and generationally challenging years to date that happen upon a theme: Good and bad times have happened and will continue to, and only by being present for them both will we gain anything, if only perspective, from either."

• Lil Durk - Almost Healed - Friday, May 12
