Instead of filling out a March Madness bracket, I decided to rank some famous NBA players' recent music drops.
Rather than a shining star, fun. would prove to be a shooting star, come and gone in the blink of an eye.
It doesn’t take much to realize that Saba is a special artist.
Named after the alluring, poisonous mountain shrubs native to the eastern United States, “Laurel Hell” peels back the layers of Mitski’s glossy new fame and strips away the various personas she donned in her 2018 album “Be the Cowboy.”
Eels is hard to define.
One day, I was curious about the last non-posthumous album Michael Jackson ever released. That’s when I stumbled across his 2001 album, “Invincible.”
Earl Sweatshirt is in a new prime with “SICK!” and I can’t wait to see what he does next.
In the modern music landscape, there seems to be one constant: an influx of ever-growing “deluxe” albums that have little reason to exist.
After so much pomp and circumstance surrounding the longer “All Too Well,” you would think that there’s no way it could live up to its hype. You’d be wrong, though — the new version blows the shorter, more primitive “All Too Well” out of the water. How does a song twice the length manage to do that?
"An Evening With Silk Sonic” sends R&B’s new favorite super-duo into the stratosphere as Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak deliver their wondrous debut as Silk Sonic.
Whether you love the album or you can’t stand it, it’s unique to JPEGMafia.
“TWOPOINTFIVE” is an explosion of color — the cover art depicts Aminé’s head, warped and distorted, bursting into a splatter of neon colors. The project shows Aminé having fun and refusing to be boxed in creatively.
It’s not the first story about being bisexual or a Gen Z activist or questioning your role as a woman and a person in the world. But it is the first time I’ve seen all these stories share the same stage at the same time.
Recess writers weigh in on Lana Del Ray's "most personal album to date"
Explosive. Colorful. Textured. Different. The sound of seeyousoon, a nine-member genre-defying collective out of Orlando, Florida, can be difficult to describe. Their music colors outside sonic lines, shattering the traditional norms of hip-hop with avant-garde production.
Miller was 22 when he released “Faces.” The mixtape, released for free online in 2014, is dense: 24 songs and over 85 minute. Many fans of Miller’s music consider it to be his magnum opus, but until this year, it remained largely inaccessible to many.
Gomez’s return to her heritage is important to me because like her, I have long been trying to reconnect with my own heritage, especially through language.
Breakup albums usually tell one side of the story, but “22 Break” is Oh Wonder’s way of telling us what it’s like to break up and share both perspectives.
Perhaps the only list where Robyn’s “Dancing on my Own” and John Lennon’s “Imagine” will ever be ranked side by side, specifically at number 20 and number 19, it includes a variety of genres and representation from every decade since the 1930s. While many of the songs are instantly recognizable, whether they be pop favorites or timeless ballads, it wouldn’t be the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” without controversy and the plague of rockism.
