Review: Alabama Shakes, 'I Must Be Dreaming' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. But what happens when unexpected events keep pressuring those wounds, potentially prolonging and further disrupting the healing process? Trying to find beauty amid the chaos triggered by personal and cultural ruptures drives I Must Be Dreaming, the third record by Southern rock trio Alabama Shakes and their first in eleven years. This more emotionally forward thematic approach makes sense, as the years since their last record, 2015’s brilliant Sound & C
Gregg Araki wants to pique your curiosity with I Want Your Sex (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sam Rosenberg’s CineMusic column highlights newly released film scores, soundtracks, and the composers/curators behind them. Those intimately familiar with Gregg Araki know he’s a master of curating mood through music. The engaging mix of grunge, shoegaze, and alt-rock in 1995’s The Doom Generation and 1997’s Nowhere vividly reflected the Gen X ennui of their characters, while Harold Budd and Robin Guthrie’s otherworldly score for 2004’s Mysterious Skin offered a soothing soundscape to neutraliz
Ariana Grande wilts on petal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like every pop star, each of Ariana Grande’s eras has its own distinct identity.

The 33-year-old singer nimbly ascended her way to the top since coming onto the scene in 2013, effortlessly transitioning from Broadway and Nickelodeon into a music career that’s spawned sold-out tours and Oscar-nominated blockbuster performances. Following her humble yet promising debut Yours Truly, her R&B-pop template has evolved tremendously, with Grande running the intensity of
Finn Wolfhard, 'Fire from the Hip' Album Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Toward the end of “I’ll Let You Finish,” the rollicking opener of his second record Fire from the Hip, Finn Wolfhard does something unexpected. After affecting a nineties indie rocker drawl and doling out charmingly rambling lyrics, the twenty-three-year-old singer/actor finishes the song by singing Kanye West’s infamous interruption of Taylor Swift’s speech at the 2009 VMAs. It’s an odd moment, one that would come off as a pretentious cop-out in another’s hands. And in a way, it does have a qua
