Jae Stephens: Audacity review â a thrilling lesson in why more debut albums should go for broke (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Def Jam)After five EPs in in seven years, the Dallas native with the big voice pours everything into this bonkers cauldron of maximalist R&B and hyperactive pop There is so, so much happening on Jae Stephensâ debut album Audacity. Thankfully, it seems like mess is her medium. Although the 29-year-old Dallas native is often sold as a big voice â and she undoubtedly does have a big voice â her debut album has more in common with hyperactive, magnetic records such as PinkPantheressâs Fancy
âIâm an ever-changing vesselâ: Erykah Badu on defying definition, life as a birth and death doula and her first album in 11 years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do the Texan innovatorâs records take so long to make? âItâs important to gather the data,â she says: the death, dating and dopamine behind her exquisite comeback alongside the Alchemist Erykah Badu needs the lights down low. The singer, producer, actor and registered doula shuffles into a private room at Londonâs Soho hotel and quietly asks for some changes to the atmosphere: lights dimmed, soft seat.

But the reason Arca, real name Alejandra Ghersi, has become such a star of electronic music â and a mainstream-adjacent one at that â is not
The Strokes: Reality Awaits review â a perfect marriage of mayhem and melody on their best album in years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(RCA/Cult)Allying the crackpot strangeness of Julian Casablancasâ side projects with his bandâs gift for pop minimalism, the New Yorkers are on playful, joyous form Hereâs a sentence no old-head Strokes fan wants to hear: to understand Reality Awaits, the stalwart NYC groupâs seventh album and first in six years, you first have to understand the Voidz. Julian Casablancasâs other band has been taking up more and more of his time in recent years, much to the chagrin of fans who may have
