London-born singer/songwriter and poet Arlo Parks pens vividly descriptive lyrics about adolescence and mental health awareness, accompanied by an enticing mixture of bedroom pop and indie soul. She first received attention for several early singles and two 2019 EPs, which gained BBC Radio 1 airplay and praise from publications such as NME. Her 2021 full-length debut, Collapsed in Sunbeams, reached number three on the U.K. album chart and was met with widespread acclaim, winning Parks the Brit Award for Best New Artist and the 2021 Mercury Prize.
