Back in August, Paramore leader Hayley Williams released her solo album Ego Death At The Bachelorette Party. Williams has done a whole lot of interviews to promote the record, but she doesn’t seem to have any plans to tour behind the record. When she does perform those songs live, however, they go hard. A few weeks ago, she sang “True Believer” on The Tonight Show. Last night, Williams released the bonus track “Good Ol’ Days,” and she also played an handful of Ego Death songs live for the first time. View the full article

In 2009, wily pop star Lily Allen released her magnum opus It’s Not Me, It’s You. It was campy and searing and irreverent and honest. Sixteen years later, she’s come full circle with an album that’s completely different, but just as significant (upon first listen). West End Girl‘s closer “Fruityloops” finds Allen coming to terms with the devastation of a relationship whirlwind. “It’s not me, it’s you/ It’s what you’ve always done, it’s what you’ll do,” she sings during the slinky bossa nova chorus. West End Girl isn’t as energized or cheeky as It’s Not Me, It’s You, but it is her strongest and most cohesive album since. Here, Allen trades in diverse, playful soundscapes for woozy and cinematic compositions that emphasize her brutal lyrical revelations. View the full article

Sabrina Carpenter was both the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live. She did as good of a job as she could with the sketches’ generally weak scripts. One sketch was cut from the episode for time, but SNL shared it on TikTok today. It finds Carpenter in the middle of a boring date with a goofy short king, before she breaks the fourth wall and goes into infomercial mode to pitch you an alternative: a Tall, Plain Boyfriend.

Vacancy, the third album from Ari Lennox, is coming soon. The follow-up to the singer’s 2022 album age/sex/location is set for release in January, and today we get a preview in the form of “Under The Moon.” The single leans into a retro retro R&B sound, complete with smoky lead guitar, plinking piano chords, and “shoo-bop shoo-bop” backing vocals. Lennox feels plenty modern when describing her lover, though: “So majestic/ Fuckin’ vicious/ Like a werewolf/ When you’re in it.” Soon she’s howling — an over-the-top bit that works because the song is so smooth. Listen below. View the full article

About halfway through Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, writer/director Scott Cooper’s noisy new Bruce Springsteen biopic, I got restless. My seat was uncomfortable. I was hungry. I could see just about every music-biopic cliché coming, and I knew I’d have to get through all of them before I could stretch my legs and find an open burrito spot. But then the picture arrived at the scene where Jeremy Allen White’s Bruce Springsteen records “Born In The USA” with the full E Street Band behind him. The film had already shown Springsteen recording that song as a moody acoustic demo. But when those drum-hits and that triumphant keyboard riff came in, the song was transformed, and so was the theater. I forgot all about cramped seats and burritos, and I was transfixed.
