In 2025, almost one year to the day that her mother, Taméca Jones, released her long-awaited debut album Plants & Pills, CHERRI premiered “Come Around,” a moody, radio-ready pop single that proved vocals really can be passed down through generations. Though still her only streamable track, a well-attended March residency at Firehouse Lounge bodes well for the ascendant local crooner, who returns to the historic Downtown hostel this weekend. Singer-rapper sage x price co-headlines behind February’s “Lashing Out,” a fuck-the-haters single whose grand piano chords root the track in soulful jazz as much as “MF DOOM, Dot, and André.” – Carys Anderson
