Every Friday, Relix surveys the wealth of new music released over the past seven days and selects standouts for the Relix Staff Picks playlist. Read on for the highlights from this week’s batch, presented by Qobuz: experience the difference with high-quality music streaming and human-curated selections from the platform that puts artists first.

Since they first connected for a workshop at the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the members of I’m With Her have honed their harmony on and off the stage. Beyond writing and performing together, Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Watkins and Sarah Jarosz have grown closer through shared personal experiences and open communication, fostering an intimate mutual understanding. The brilliance of their collaboration isn’t that they become something greater than the sum of their parts, but that the congruity and contrast that they hear in each other allows them to hear their own creative voices more clearly.

“The three of us really respect each other’s individual careers and individual points of view,” Watkins said in a 2025 Relix feature. “It’s neat to have these three different speeds on the bike that can work together. When we find our rhythm, which doesn’t take long at the beginning of a project, it can do some exciting things. I just love being in this band. But it’s very important that you love each other off the stage too, especially at this stage in life. Life’s too short to be with people that you don’t love. And we love living life together.”

Today, I’m With Her released Sing Me Alive, a new live collection confirming that the trio’s intricate chemistry is still best experienced in concert. Across 20 highlights drawn from 2025’s Grammy-winning Wild, Clear and Blue and 2018’s See You Around, plus a cover of Paul Simon’s “The Obvious Child,” the independently esteemed singer-songwriters trade the lead and meet in lush, studied harmonies. There’s a dynamism to both their older songs, written explicitly with the stage in mind, and the more studio-oriented compositions of their new material that they step into fully before an audience. With their expressive and refined instrumental arrangements, alternately chilling and euphoric verses and laughs between tracks, they fill their music to the brim with signs of life.

The latest batch of Relix Staff Picks also includes new music from Frog, Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize, They Might Be Giants, MALIA and many more gems. Tune in here.
