Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Don Heffington, a beloved L.A. musician who died of leukemia in 2021, will be the subject of a charity tribute album coming out this fall, with featured artists including Jackson Browne, Fiona Apple, Buddy Miller, John C. Reilly, Dave Alvin and Watkins Family Hour.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Feeling angry about Apple’s ranking of the 100 best albums of all time, are you? Good. (From their point of view.) That’s exactly how you’re supposed to feel, given a list that aspires less toward any semblance of an informed or authoritative voice than a seeming sense of randomness that can only be explained away as rage bait.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Welcome to the Motel Destino, which may be some distance from the Hotel California, but is very much programmed to receive — or give, if that’s your preference. With mirrors on the ceiling but definitely no pink champagne on ice, the run-down roadside sex den that houses most of Karim Aïnouz’s Olympically horny new film isn’t so much a palace of pleasure as a this-will-do hideaway for the illicitly amorous couples (or throuples, or more, no judgment here) checking into any of its hastily wiped-down rooms.

Holly Humberstone has shared her latest single ‘Into Your Room’ from her upcoming album ‘Paint My Bedroom Black‘.‘Into Your Room’ is the fourth song to be released from Humberstone’s debut LP. It follows ‘Antichrist’, ‘Room Service’, and ‘Superbloodmoon‘.

Prior to the release of Amazon Prime's series Daisy Jones & The Six, Blake Mills had the cult status of your favorite singer-songwriter's favorite singer-songwriter, the producer of music for Fiona Apple, Perfume Genius, and Jack Johnson, and an acclaimed solo artist and session musician. Dude was subtly everywhere, but when Daisy Jones premiered along with all the music he wrote, performed, and produced for the titular fake band, living rooms across the world were playing Blake Mills music even if they didn't know it.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Imagine Adele happy, and you’re at least part of the way toward understanding the appeal of Lauren Daigle, the powerhouse singer whose self-titled third album — and first with Atlantic Records — came out May 12. Of course, making a joyful noise has been something of a mandate for Daigle, who became arguably the biggest star to arise out of the Christian music scene in the last 10-15 years before entering pop crossover territory. But even if peacefulness and positivity weren’t part of the job description up to this point, Daigle is someone who naturally exudes good vibes, in and out of song. As she puts it, quoting her friend Natalie Hemby, Daigle has a “little hippie thing” going on, which she attributes in part to her Louisiana upbringing, that has erupting in perpetual grins to go with her inner groove.

Fiona Apple has appeared in and provided music for a PSA for the National Courtwatch Network.The artist has become an outspoken advocate of court watching over the past few years and explains in the short film what the constitutionally enshrined tradition involves, while also encouraging Americans to get involved.

It makes you care about people you don’t know.
