It only takes 33 seconds for Jason Williamson to drop an F-bomb on "The Good Life," the first track from The Demise of Planet X, Sleaford Mods' first record in three years. This latest record, released January 16, isn't much of a departure from the duo's signature sound: Williamson furiously yelping and rapping over Andrew Fearn's driving electronic beats. For a group that has always trafficked in anger, a world unraveling into chaos is perfect fodder for a Sleaford Mods record.

Like most writers who can't bring themselves to lay down their pen, Zach Bryan prefers creating to editing. Songs spill out of him, as do recordings. Only three days after delivering With Heaven on Top, the fourth album he's issued through Warner, he released an acoustic version of the same set of 25 songs, adding it on top of the original so the album now runs over two hours and 20 minutes, a length that stays true to his tradition of overabundance.

The fifth and final season of Stranger Things required a full calendar year of production in Atlanta, a marathon of 240 shooting days that will bring the beloved Netflix series to a close with eight super-sized episodes. A job of that scale and duration is an arduous undertaking that could rightfully intimidate any crewmember. For Caleb Heymann, it's kind of his thing.

His frequent allegro cadence accents how deftly he changes direction within verses. "Silent Film," set to mellow chords and a shuffling breakbeat, is casually breathless: "I roll the dough and cook it/Was juggin' cause in a world so cold, you just throw on a hoodie/I see the limit and push it, sneaking over the edge/Made a million off of my grief, none of my people rose from the dead," Mavi raps, subtly pausing-and stretching and compressing words-to keep the meter.

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are to appear in the new Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which is in production. The Hollywood Reporter said it confirmed the pair's return to the Hunger Games series, in what is the sixth film in the franchise. Both will play the same characters as in the original set of films Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen and Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark with the Hollywood Reporter suggesting they will likely appear in a flash-forward.

It's easy to appreciate his way with a hook, and his vocal range remains impressive beneath all the effects. You might wonder if a Tobias Jesso Jr.-style future writing for other artists is in the cards. Plus, he's surrounded by talented people: An album with Prince's guitarist Wendy Melvoin on several songs and Shawn Everett on the mix is guaranteed to groove and sparkle in all the right ways.

Don Toliver has carved out a reputation for crafting songs that live in the space between rap and R&B, blending melody with mood in ways that resist easy categorization. His latest release, "Tiramisu," continues that tradition, arriving on the heels of Jack Boys 2, the collaborative summer project that further cemented his status within Houston 's current wave. With its hypnotic cadence and lush, layered production,

Having made two albums with a chamber vibe, I was thinking, Where do I go from here? I started hearing your Suedes and Saint Etiennes, and Blur were referencing stuff from the 60s and 70s too. I could see the way the wind was blowing. That sounds quite knowing, but I already loved John Barry, the Kinks, Adam Faith and, of course, Scott Walker. I'd come up with a very eurocentric chord sequence, not the type you get in rock'n'roll, almost slightly Pet Shop Boys.

If you're aware that matcha is a type of green tea, you're probably wondering why it's so much more expensive than other varieties. Of the three types of matcha, top-tier ceremonial grade runs upwards of $45 per ounce, and even the most affordable matcha for cooking can cost around $6 per ounce. Compared with regular green tea, which costs around $2.50 per ounce, matcha is considerably pricier.

With his latest release, 'BTA,' Young Nudy delivers a track that feels tailor-made for late nights, packed dance floors, and booming car speakers.
