MONDAY—Nashville“Are you afraid of heights?”Daniela Parada, Charli xcx’s personal assistant, leads me through a set of double doors into a cavernous warehouse space.

I feel dizzy looking down into the warehouse, which is dotted with…

Urbano superstar Karol G formally unveiled her new album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, just this week, as she became the first solo woman to headline Toronto’s Rogers Stadium. The record, whose title translates as I Don’t Regret Feeling So Much, includes features from Drake, Rusowsky, and Bruno Mars, who appears on her first-ever English song, “Still.” Sentir Tanto steps away from the palette of last year’s Tropicoqueta, a joyfully retro tribute to Colombia’s musical lineage, and revisits the clubbier territory of 2023’s Mañana Será Bonita. Don’t worry, though—you’ll still find dembows galore.Listen on Apple MusicListen on SpotifyListen on…

Meshell Ndegeocello has recruited Cat Power for a cover of the Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me.” The second single from Ndegeocello’s duets album Synonym—improbably populated with guests ranging from Chaka Khan to Bill Callahan—builds the synth-pop classic out from a dub reggae groove, with Ndegeocello and Chan Marshall trading verses, conversing in the pre-chorus, and eventually uniting.

Bruce Springsteen didn’t want to be on the road in the latter half of 1976. He wanted to be in the studio crafting a follow-up to Born to Run — an album that he was provisionally calling American Madness. But a nasty legal battle with Mike Appel, his former manager, meant that he was legally unable to enter a recording studio with his producer of choice, Jon Landau, until the matter was resolved by the courts. With legal bills mounting and very little money coming in, booking shows was his only way to support himself and the rest of the E…
