Go check out all of those and more if you haven't already.

For Byrne's first album since his hugely acclaimed American Utopia tour and the subsequent Spike Lee-directed film he's working with an orchestra, as well as St Vincent and Paramore singer Hayley Williams, among others. The two tracks released so far, She Explains Things To Me and Everybody Laughs, have proved to be sweetly sunny and driven by acoustic guitar. The accompanying tour due to reach Europe next year will apparently blend visual art, storytelling and music into one compelling live performance.

The organizational structure of the album spotlight releases for 2025 is unique, featuring a reverse chronological order to display high-rated records and noteworthy music.

The Boss released a 7-disc box set documenting unreleased tracks from 1983 to 2018, titled Tracks II: The Lost Albums, making it a significant event for fans.
