Novena's New Music Friday Must Hear's & Coachella Must See's
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

It’s a banner day for singles ahead of hotly anticipated new albums: Norah Jones’ “Running,” Erick the Architect’s “Ezekiel’s Wheel (Feat. George Clinton),” and Eric Hilton’s “Closer.” Plus, “Passionfruit,” the sprawling and meditative collab between UK-producer Elkka and LA’s foremost vibes-centric stylist John Carroll Kirby, and the pleasantly trippy Polo & Pan remix of Benny Sings’ “Young Hearts.”
