For more than a decade, River Shook fronted Sarah Shook and the Disarmers, a raucous but fitfully tender country-rock unit that, for most of its run, hit the bottle as hard as it hit the pavement. In that grandest of country music traditions, the Disarmers’ songs were honest reflections of the blackout-chasing lives the members were living, but that changed when Shook got sober in 2019. The albums that followed, especially 2024’s incisive Revelations, were more clear-eyed; they also exposed the fault lines that had begun to destabilize the Disarmers. In June 2025, Shook played their final show with their…

It’s been almost a decade since the last Downtown Boys LP, and the cost of living has never been higher. Corporations lay off workers en masse in hopes of replicating their labor with LLMs. The social safety net is gutted, funding for the arts slashed. The United States has just minted the world’s first trillionaire. The barrage of body blows to the collective consciousness is exhausting.But Downtown Boys have never shied away from putting in the work. “Eres el desastre/No es mi límite,” Victoria Marie bellows on “No Me Jodas,” the opening track of their new album, Public Luxury. The…

Uno dei commenti più ricorrenti sui social quando si parla di Taylor Swift è una frase del tipo: “Non capisco come faccia ad avere tutto questo successo, non conosco nemmeno una sua canzone…”. Come se la responsabilità non fosse attribuibile alla pigrizia di chi scrive ma alla cantautrice americana. Ho trovato su YouTube una selezione di brani di Taylor Swift eseguiti da promettenti ragazzi nei vari “The Voice” televisivi trasmessi in giro per il mondo, nei paesi più improbabili, dalla Mongolia alla Thailandia, e risulta subito evidente quanto le hit di Taylor Swift siano famosissime e amate. Fenomeno non soltanto…

Your day will come. Your day will come. Your day will come. Say it enough times and it tilts from an optimistic mantra to a looping curse. On 2024’s Your Day Will Come, Shane Lavers sought relief from guilt, the death of a loved one, and other phantoms of the mind with a nervy tangle of organic and digital sounds that felt at once scuzzy and super-clean. Inspired by Donald Fagen’s concept of “fake jazz,” Lavers defaced his sophisto-pop influences: Keep the regal strings, the pingy bass, and the gossamer synth shivers, but pollute it with askew guitars and samples,…

After teasing a studio collaboration together several months ago, Steve Lacy has finally shared the new song he recorded with SZA. “Is It Cool?” is a back-and-forth track between the two singers where they delve into their struggles with romance and tendencies to self-sabotage.

With an hour’s notice and a bat of her eyelashes, Charli XCX ushered in her third single from Music, Fashion, Film: “Wink Wink.” The new song gets a music video directed by Aidan Zamiri, in which the pop star swears she’s “not a bad girl anymore” while eating strawberries in a field, washing window panes, sneaking onto a roof, and letting loose by herself. Check it out below.“Wink Wink” arrives after the headline-baiting single “Rock Music” and the more traditionally pop-indebted song “SS26.” (No, their accompanying “b-sides” aren’t part of the album’s tracklist.)

“On Wires” will appear on Day and Nightthe Canadian singer-songwriter's first double album Carly Rae Jepsen wants her love to last forever on “On Wires,” the first taste of her recently announced album Day and Night. “On Wires” is one of Jepsen's most ambitious tracks to date. Opening with staccato piano, the chorus explodes into an arena rock declaration of her love. It was produced by Kyle Shearer, and co-written by Jepsen, Shearer, and Nate Cyphert. In the song's accompanying music video, Jepsen sings her way through a concert hall and down the street. The Caio Viera-directed video was filmed…
