Album of the Week: The Moon and Stars by Valerie June

KAXE | By Kari Hedlund
Published March 19, 2021 at 6:30 AM CDT

Valerie June is out with a new album, The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers, which is our featured Album of the Week. This is her third album, and first since 2017, and her first where she took on a co-producer role alongside Jack Splash (Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, John Legend).

Everything about Valerie June seems to be on another level; this album almost feels like she's taking you along on her spiritual journey, with meditations included. 

Listen to our morning show and New Music to hear more from our featured album of the week!
