Various artists, HELP(2)
The sequel to the Britpop-era War Child comp couldn’t have arrived at a better time, with its guest-filled track list embodying the charity’s mission of healing in the midst of global violence.
Shabaka, Of the Earth
The spiritual jazz musician’s third solo album rejects the distant cosmos and murky recesses of history in favor of the strange melodies and wondrous rhythms of human existence.
Harry Styles, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
The sequel to the 2022 Album of the Year GRAMMY winner is another radical genre shape-shift for a pop star who refuses to settle for just another EDM album.
