Songs of old are long past, but their spirits are still very alive, even in our youngest generations – Laufey brings the sound of traditional vocal jazz to the modern soundscape in one of the greatest studies of the genre I’ve heard in my lifetime.
March 20 this year marks the first official day of Spring. So, how appropriate that Weezer would choose to drop their latest album SZNZ: Spring on the same day. Their seventh studio album is the first in a four-album project and has just landed, with the ever-whimsical quartet informing us the "SZNZ" is pronounced "Seasons." Get it? Good.
Brace yourselves. After four long years, hip hop legends Cypress Hill are back with a brand new release. Their tenth studio album, Back in Black has just dropped, and feels like a wondrous trip back in time. The band have created a stunning release that clings firmly to their roots, and that peppy, in-your-face, relentless sound that made us all fall in love with them back in 1991.
With a final single releasing alongside her first original LP ‘PREY//IV’, Alice Glass shows us how creepy atmospheres can be as groovy as ever with ‘EVERYBODY ELSE’.
From ‘Descendent’ fame, Dove Cameron released her second solo single, ‘Boyfriend’, that takes inspiration and fuels it up to levels unimagined.
Still fresh off their 2021 release, ‘An Evening With Silk Sonic’, the supergroup ‘Silk Sonic’ show no sign of slowing down with a brand-new single, ‘Love’s Train’, a gorgeous Con Funk Shun cover.
Cory Henry is the king of the modern organ, that much is undisputed. In his newest single, ‘Fighting for Peace’, he puts his talents on the forefront, along with his gorgeous voice and band, to bring a slow-grooving classic R&B jam that’ll surely uplift your soul.
Bow Anderson released the ultimate young-adult anthem, ‘20s’, a song that’ll get you to celebrate and dance through your youth.
Caroline Polachek enters the world with one of the most ambitious singles of the year, ‘Billions’, where the lack of clear foundation, done so in complete confidence, ultimately works beautifully in its favor.
Never has pop music sounded so talented – Boyzlife have created an absolute masterpiece with their newest single, ‘Burn For You’.
Alt-J returns with a new single titled ‘The Actor’ to show the world that having ambiguous inspirations and an ambitious take on composition, production, and execution can result in some of the most interestingly unique music, even in 2022.
Back with a heavy metal banger titled ‘Fear of the Dawn’, Jack White reminds the world of his massive success in revitalizing garage rock back in the early 2000s, along with all the gold he’s produced through his solo material and White Stripes.
