Reviews See All

Kelela, New Avatar

The songwriter’s earliest soul and jazz influences can be found swirling throughout her third album, which also expands into the realms of hypnotic electronic music and alt rock.

Chanel Beads, Your Day Will Come

Leaning into his shoulder-devil, Shane Lavers’ second album trades the uncanny artifice of its predecessor for a tactile, physical confrontation of what it looks like to face inner darkness.

Madonna, Confessions II

Reteaming with producer Stuart Price for a sequel to her 2005 nu-disco LP, the pop star capitalizes on the velvet cordiality of her vocals with a sparkling new brand of arrangements.
