• Review: Bebe Rexha's Expectations' Revels In Nineties-Loving Loneliness

  27-06-2018 23:24 via rollingstone.com
  Bebe Rexha's voice makes a quirky, squirmy sound that may not be your cup of squeak. But if it is, then it's crazily irresistible and, given the right melody, unstoppable. Her serpentine wail is the precious ingredient in some of today's biggest hits, the factor that's turned otherwise bland songs like Louis Tomlinson's "Back to You" and Florida Georgia Line's "Meant to Be" into body-rocking and chart-topping gold. But after years hustling in the shadows of other people like Nicki Minaj, Lil Way

• Kanye West's Summer of Samples: How Two Reissue Labels Helped Make Wyoming Funky

  27-06-2018 22:54 via rollingstone.com
  "I gotta say, when it comes down to discovering weird samples, that dude's kind of all over it," says Now Again Records founder Eothen "Egon" Alapatt of Kanye West, the superstar producer who's dropped five sample-soaked releases in the past five weeks. "He has a lot of help, of course, but he also has really good ears and picks out really cool stuff that not a lot of people would."Since 2002, Alapatt's globetrotting Now Again Records – originally an offshoot of dusty-fingered indie hip-ho

• Review: Charles Lloyd and Lucinda Williams Fuse Jazz and Roots on 'Vanished Gardens'

  27-06-2018 20:54 via rollingstone.com
  Charles Lloyd's engagement with rock is no passing dalliance: In the Sixties and Seventies, the saxist-flutist played the Fillmore, gigged with the Beach Boys and recorded with the post-Morrison Doors. But even that history doesn't prepare the listener for how graceful and engaged the 80-year-old NEA Jazz Master sounds on this program – the second release by his genre-blurring Marvels quintet – half of which features the gorgeously weathered voice of Lucinda Williams. On "Dust," a ne

• Review: Gorillaz' 'The Now Now' Is a Focused Call for Unity In Hard Times

  27-06-2018 20:50 via rollingstone.com
  During almost two decades in business, the mightiness of Gorillaz has been its mutability – it's a pop-rock-hip-hop-free-trade- zone where anyone from Lou Reed to Vince Staples could show up and work a groove. But that's also been its flaw: While last year's Humanz brought some fire (notably the Pusha T- Mavis Staples collab "Let Me Out”), it felt more like a streaming algorithm than a coherent album. Mastermind Damon Albarn solves this particular problem on The Now Now, the sixth Go

  Migos play a group of opulent drug traffickers in their new "Narcos" video. The Georgia rappers open the clip in their heavily guarded villa, where they dine, sip champagne, count massive stacks of cash and relax on speed boats.

The group's Quavo co-directed the clip with Joseph Desrosiers, and both 21 Savage and Migos producer DJ Durel make cameos in the big-bud
