Containing 19 disks of remastered studio albums, live recordings, demos, and rarities, this full-career retrospective spotlights the urbane pop-soul legend’s bracing, challengingly romantic songcraft.

Still hard to listen to but impossible to turn away from, the NYC noise-rockers’ damning debut of feminist rage undergoes a clean-up for its tenth anniversary.

The Asheville-based songwriter holds the door open for a handful of artists by showcasing their work and amplifying it by delivering lovely covers.

Four new reissue collections from Tangerine Records spotlight the iconic artist’s forays into C&W, R&B, and gospel—and how he blended these three genres—in the mid-1960s.

40 titles to help you overcome your post-turkey stupor this Friday, including Billie Eilish, Modest Mouse, Kacey Musgraves, U2, Rage Against the Machine, Raekwon, and more.

With over four hours of previously unheard music, these intense live recordings famously portray the sound of one Davis era’s end and another’s beginning.

Teddy Geiger, Lyra Pramuk, and Nina Keith also weigh in on the organization’s latest expansive various-artists collection, which spotlights the trans and non-binary community.

With one side dedicated to icy compu-disco and the other tied to the band’s beyond-punk origin story, this expanded reissue brings new order to the 1986 curio with live recordings, remixes, and more.

These remastered early solo releases are a testament to the breadth of the composer’s innovative sonic and lyrical éclat beyond his more menacing proto-punk work.

The new reissue expands on the lyrical desolation, moody arrangements, and incendiary sonic vibes fueled by post-9/11 Brooklyn that define this debut.

The Irish art-pop icon and former Virgin Prunes bandleader talks God, dogs, and his new album, Ecce Homo.

The Puerto Rican vocalist and producer sounds primed for something romantically and rhythmically new yet soulfully nostalgic and warm on his latest collection of Latin pop.

Co-produced by his son Dhani with a deeply fluid overall bass line, this 50th anniversary collection provides the Beatle’s second solo record plenty more room to breathe.

This five-LP set spotlights how singular the slacker-rockers were as songwriters and offbeat vocal harmonists while putting their out-of-print catalog back into the world where it belongs.

Featuring a remastered sound and plenty of outtakes, demos, and live versions, this celebration of the iconic new wave band’s debut is equally notable for its flip-top box design and 80-page hardcover book.

Although curiously brief, this single-disc retrospective of the late songwriter and producer’s solo work is a solid overview of his innovation within a diverse set of sounds.

This anniversary collection filled with demos, practice bits, and live sessions demonstrates how full-blooded the band sounded even before stepping into the studio with Ric Ocasek.

This five-song EP offers a sense of where Steven Ellison’s futuristic agenda lies in 2024: between the breezy fusion-funk of the 1970s and the discoid, bouncy house music of the ’80s.

Whether tenderly crooned or roughly rapped, whether stoically alone or with a crew of features, the songs on the rapper’s eighth LP find him calling into question his past, present, and future.

The lyrical doom and gloom that matches the music’s slowed, metallic, ethereal ambience on the band’s first record in 16 years focuses very pointedly on true death.
