Album art: Fancy Hagood, 'Southern Curiosity'

A few years ago, artist and songwriter Fancy Hagood — then performing as Who Is Fancy — released a string of pop singles, including the Ariana Grande/Meghan Trainor collaboration “Boys Like You” and the breakup earworm “Goodbye.” Though the songs themselves caught on, the pop plan didn’t pan out as Hagood intended. No matter, though, as Hagood’s first album under his full name, Southern Curiosity, is his best work yet, combining his natural talent for crafting an infectious melody with emotional, deeply personal lyrics about living as a gay man in the South. All killer and no filler, the album is best experienced from start to finish, with standout tracks including the buoyant “Mr. Atlanta” and the confessional “Forest.”
