Underscores Releases Third Album 'U', Blending Pop Accessibility with Personal Artistic Vision

Musician April Grey, known as Underscores, released her third album 'U' last week. The 25-year-old artist describes it as her most cohesive and accessible pop-oriented work to date, though it retains her signature experimental quirks. Grey produced the album entirely herself, showcasing her vocals more prominently than in previous releases. The album draws inspiration from her fascination with liminal spaces like hotel lobbies and airports, and is designed for headphone listening. Grey began making music as Underscores at age 12 and gained wider recognition with her 2021 album 'Fishmonger' and 2023's 'Wallsocket', which led to collaborations with artists including Danny Brown and Dylan Brady.
