Olivia Rodrigo, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love
Teetering between the influences of ’80s new wave and ’90s alt-rock, the pop star’s third album is a journey from jubilant lovesickness to a fatalistic collapse into romantic decay.
Goose, Big Modern!
At once their most even-keeled and explosively hook-crowded album yet, the jam-grinding ensemble’s latest is a stretch toward something uniquely slick and end-timey.
Kelsey Lu, So Help Me God
On their second LP, Lu taps Jack Antonoff and Yves Rothman to co-produce a fascinating tapestry of pop, R&B, electronica, classical, folk, and everything avant-garde in between.
