Laura Marling is back with her first album since 2024’s Patterns in Repeat, and, inevitably, it’s a 17-track collection of Raffi covers. “Laura Sings Raffi marks a logical next step for me,” the British singer-songwriter said in a press release, “but it’s not only a desire for tolerable children’s music that landed me here.” While living in North America, she explains, she “developed a love for his sincere, dead pan renditions of both his original songs for the very young and those plucked from the canon,” even before having children of her own. Listen to the LP, which Marling self-produced at home…

The world has watched Latto grow up. From winning The Rap Game at 16 as Miss Mulatto, where she turned down Jermaine Dupri’s record deal to stay independent, to becoming the gritty Southern heir to Gangsta Boo and Trina, she’s built her career brick by brick in full public view. Now 27, she releases her fourth studio album ‘Big Mama’: a title that started as a metaphor for her dominance and became literal after welcoming her first child with 21 Savage last month. The album’s opening run reminds you exactly why Latto became a star in the first place. ‘GOMF’…

Josh Klinghoffer was the guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers from 2009 to 2019 (but starting as a session musician in 2007), yet his name seems to have almost disappeared from the band's history.Klinghoffer joined RHCP as a replacement for John Frusciante, who had decided to leave the band, contributing to two unreleased albums: I'm With You (2011) e The Gateway (2016). Despite his long militancy with the group, that decade is part of an almost forgotten history of the band, as the guitarist himself told in an interview with Guitar World.“There's little respect for albums that don't feature…
Steve Lacy will release his third album, Oh Yeah?, on July 17 via RCA Records. The singer previewed the LP with anthemic single “The Feeling,” an emotionally-wrought number about a relationship in turmoil. “The heart takes what it wants/ I’m not scared to bleed, you know our history,” he sings. “After all, there’s one thing I don’t know/ Am I your baby? Am I your baby?” Along with the single, Lacy shared a music video for the track directed by Matt Castellanos. Lacy has been hinting at Oh Yeah? since last year. Last year he released “Nice Shoes” as a trailer…
With a plethora of rappers already delivering scathing, eloquent attacks on the crushing nature of 21st century US racism – from Kendrick Lamar’s ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ to Jay-Z‘s ‘4:44’, Joey Bada$$‘ ‘All Amerikkkan Bada$$’ to Run The Jewels‘ ‘RTJ4’ – there’s a danger that projects centred around the nation’s hostile, discriminatory foundations tread old ground. However, that’s not an accusation that can be levelled at Vince Staples’ new album, ‘Cry Baby’, his first since leaving Def Jam Recordings and going independent in 2024. Set against gripping rock-rap sonics, the album is a blistering response to the heightened atmosphere of…
