Reviews
See All 
Allison Russell, In the Hour of Chaos
Clearly written in the pressure cooker of Trump’s America, the artist’s community-oriented third album battles the darkness with an at-times overwhelming sense of optimism.
The Rolling Stones, Foreign Tongues
The Stones come as close as they ever will to reckoning with their twilight years on a surprisingly effective 25th LP that finds them bringing a fresh spark to their signature sound.
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.
