"Cuban Soul-18 Kilates" is Cassiano's third studio album, released in 1976, and stands as a milestone in Brazilian soul music.

Mind Games was meant to be a return to form for John Lennon, after an instantly dated protest album that felt didactic and cold. He seemed to be back on track with its opening Top 20 hit title song. But the rest of Mind Games could be a strangely ruminative and often mid-tempo, with a shaggy studio approach. Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection makes it clear who fans should blame: The producer. After three straight projects with co-producers Phil Spector and Yoko Ono, Lennon took over those duties. He clearly couldn't place enough distance between himself and the material to make the best choices for these songs. An outside voice might have encouraged him to continue work on some tracks, or to toss one or two aside.

Death By Unga Bunga returns with their hardest-hitting record yet, Raw Muscular Power, a 10-track exploration of fragile male ego and crumbling facades through wild, raw, and high-energy rock. Inspired by their performance at Norway’s Tons of Rock festival, the album boasts a "dumber and rawer" sound packed with catchy hooks and testosterone-fueled confusion. The band tackles themes of masculine insecurity, from office workers idealizing manual labor ("Raw Muscular Power") to early-30s existential dread ("I’m Really Old"). Guest appearances include Mike Krol on "Therapy" and Haley Shae of Sløtface on the Paul Stanley-tribute "Starchild." The album also features their first Norwegian-language track, "Ring meg hvis du trenger en venn" ("Call me if you need a friend"), offering a heartfelt message of support. With Raw Muscular Power, Death By Unga Bunga invites everyone to join the party, embracing imperfections and camaraderie through rock.

Psychedelic music born from jams with a lush groove of drums and percussion, a dense foundation of keys and bass, and flute and guitar soaring above them. The septet from Moscow experiments with genres, entering the territory of prog rock, blues rock, stoner and funk.

It all starts with the voice. At turns heavy and hulkingly powerful, yet agile and pointedly precise, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s vocal not only embodies the tradition of the Sufi qawwali but it is the emotive essence of singing itself.

2 CD Set Contains Previously Unreleased Performances. JESUS ON THE MAINLINE is drawn from two 1971 concerts; April 14th, 1971 in Tacoma, Washington, and November 5th, 1971 at the Gaslight In New York, which would prove to be the final recording of the Delta Blues legend. The bottleneck guitarist was 67 years old when these tracks were recorded and his passion and conviction seem to have strengthened with the years. At this point in McDowell's career he had shifted to playing electric slide guitar. Accompanying McDowell's gruff voice, the guitar often seems to finish the singer's sentences for him; it's like listening to an old married couple.

Amorosa, a multicultural musical band based in Brussels, is driven by the voice of Stéphanie Scultore who sings about love in French and Portuguese, drawing us into her poetry between the warmth of Brazilian rhythms and the elegance of jazz harmonies.

At once intimate and universal, it draws its uniqueness and its modernity from the way it mixes genres, textures and registers while drawing on popular traditions. Petit Soleil is an album full of love and humor
