Odeal's music sits loosely within R&B, also drawing on Afrobeats, neo-soul and contemporary pop. Across his catalogue, love is rarely conclusive. Instead, songs live in emotional grey areas.

Each Monday, with our Pitchfork Selects playlist, we're sharing what our writers are playing obsessively and highlighting some of the Pitchfork staff's favorite new music.

Phil Collins, already a Hall of Fame member with Genesis, is recognized for hits like In the Air Tonight and One More Night, earning eight Grammys, including album of the year in 1985 for No Jacket Required.

Zara Larsson could be called a veteran pop star... because there's an undertow of struggle to her glittering party-girl persona. The teen-age version of her... remains lodged in my memory—a closeted power vocalist dulling her instrument to fit catchy and anodyne tracks.

Bonamassa explains the origin of the sprawling tribute, saying, 'It was brought to my attention... that B.B. King would be turning 100... and nobody was planning on doing much. I said we need to do something.'

In a teaser video, a bloodied Isaiah Rashad stumbles across an open field before collapsing, with the words 'It's Been Awful 5/1/26' appearing on screen.

Asha Bhosle entered the industry at just 10 years old with her debut performance in the Marathi film Maze Baal, showcasing her early talent and emotional depth.

The Kid Art-directed video chronicles an action-packed night of hand-to-hand combat, crashing through ceilings, and time-honored Khaled-isms including: 'We the best.'

Grande appears to be teasing a new album ahead of her Eternal Sunshine tour this summer. Recent posts show her in the studio, suggesting new music is on the way.

Kanya King stated, 'Black music shapes what we listen to, how we speak, how we dress, how we tell our stories and I guess it's defined as Britain's cultural identity but structurally and institutionally is still often treated as m.'

'Bully' follows Ye's recent placement of a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal in which he apologized for years of antisemitic remarks and attributed his behavior to medical issues stemming from injuries he sustained in a 2002 car crash.

"These repetitions start happening. It's like a humming and the song gets louder and louder and it generates heat and color and it generates so much heat that by accident the star is born. And in that moment when the star's born, we see each other for the first time. But it's sad because we're also separated for the first time."

"It's slow music, the lyrics transmit good feeling and it's moody," said frontman Gustavo Raya Garcia following the album's release on March 26.

Moving the Roots Picnic to Belmont Plateau and bringing Jay-Z and The Roots together to perform are both bucket-list moments for us.

Thaiboy Digital's first album in four years showcases a collaboration with the Swedish production collective Swedm, featuring contributions from Varg2™, Eurohead, and Jamesjamesjames.

R&B in the 21st century has been in a constant state of flux, tugged between safe traditionalism and blurry attempts at progression. For the last decade-plus that "progression" has seen R&B music become more indebted to trap records and the moody atmospherics of alternative bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, or My Bloody Valentine.

The rapper, known on his tax form as Charles Wingate and known by his old Harlem associates as Charley Rambo, made his name in the rap game during an all-too-brief run in the 2000s, as one of the most colorful members of Jim Jones' Byrdgang, his solo offshoot from the Diplomats (although due to his growing up with rappers Cam and Mase, Max is like honorary Dipset).

The only song here that really matters. Written just hours after the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and released a few days later, Springsteen names names (looking at you, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem) and speaks bold, specific truth. With a title that recalls his own impactful Streets of Philadelphia, a melody reminiscent of Bob Dylan, and an urgency not felt since Neil Young's Ohio, it may not be groundbreaking musically, but Streets of Minneapolis is exactly what we need right now.
