Like any patchy but promising debut from a classic rock group, it's often easy to underrate Queen's eponymous 1973 debut, since it has no more than one well-known anthem and plays more like a collection of ideas than a cohesive album. But what ideas! Almost every one of Queen's signatures are already present, from Freddie Mercury's operatic harmonies to Brian May's rich, orchestral guitar overdubs and the suite-like structures of "Great King Rat." That rich, florid feel could be characterized as glam, but even in these early days that appellation didn't quite fit Queen, since they were at once too heavy and arty to be glam and – ironically enough, considering their legendary excess – they were hardly trashy enough to be glam.

Grammy-nominated drummer Nate Smith, known for his deep groove and genre-blending style, has worked with legends like Pat Metheny and José James, and wowed millions with his viral drum videos. Following acclaimed projects like ‘KINFOLK: Postcards from Everywhere’ and ‘Pocket Change’, Smith returns with a new album, continuing his journey through jazz, R&B and beyond. Some of the most renowned names in the jazz scene have joined him on the project, including Lalah Hathaway, Michael League, Lionel Loueke and more. Nate Smith is a polymath musician - bandleader, composer, producer and virtuosic drummer - whose groundbreaking work as a recording artist and performer in multiple genres has made him a unique figure in popular culture and one of the most in-demand players of our generation. The album features performances from horn players Josh Johnson and Marquis Hill; the rapper JSWISS; guitarists Charlie Hunter and Lionel Loueke; bassists Michael League, Ben Williams, and CARRTOONS; keyboardists DJ Harrison and Keifer; the group säje and vocalist Jermaine Holmes; and Lalah Hathaway, who sings an unsurprisingly daring cover of ‘Automatic’, the 1984 hit for The Pointer Sisters, reharmonizing and recontextualizing the track alongside Smith.

T. Rex were an English rock band, formed in 1967 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band was initially called Tyrannosaurus Rex, and released four psychedelic folk albums under this name. In 1969, Bolan began to shift from the band's early acoustic sound to an electric one. The following year, he shortened their name to T. Rex. The 1970 release of the single "Ride a White Swan" marked the culmination of this development, and the group soon became a commercial success as part of the emerging glam rock scene.

Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Hayley Williams. She first uploaded 17 of the 18 songs to her official website on July 28, 2025, and later released them as standalone tracks onto streaming services on August 1. Williams officially self-released the album on August 28, 2025, under an independent imprint titled Post Atlantic, two years after her departure from Atlantic Records. Williams co-wrote the songs, performed several instruments, and collaborated with the producer Daniel James, who was accompanied by Jim-E Stack and Brian Robert Jones on select tracks.

Have you ever wondered what the definition of underground music is? Look no further. The PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE /PPU/ were exactly that. While the western "underground" bands of the 60s and 70s might have looked a bit freaky, or were simply stoned enough to slightly shock the establishment, the PPU were jailed by the Czechoslovak communist regime solely because they dared to play their music for a bunch of long-haired fans. Nothing more, nothing less, but indirectly causing an immense political effect for the years to come. Due to all the hurdles, the PPU remained in the underground until 1988. Our collection brings together their best tracks from nearly two decades, presented in genuine fidelity underground quality.

Jehnny Beth, former frontwoman of Mercury-nominated Savages, returns with her 2nd solo album You Heartbreaker, You via Fiction Records. Her debut solo album To Love Is To Live was released in 2020 followed by touring alongside with Queens of the Stone Age, Depeche Mode, Idles and more. Since her debut solo album she has collaborated with artists such as Gorillaz, Sextile, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream) and Idles.

When Natalie Cole released 1989's Good to Be Back, the follow-up to 1987's Everlasting, her fans had become accustomed to her year-long recording gaps for six years, going back to 1983's I'm Ready. So it's not as if her absence was that much of a surprise, but given the ups and downs of her personal life, the album's title could be alluding to something entirely different. (1989 was the year she married drummer, producer and Rufus founder Andre Fischer). At any rate, Good to Be Back continued her popularity in the mainstream and on the adult contemporary chart. The success of four singles – "As a Matter of Fact," and especially the ballads "Miss You Like Crazy," "Starting Over Again," and "I Do" (a duet with Freddie Jackson) – belied the album's inability to crack the Top 50 of the album chart. The ballads were (and have continued to be) staples on adult contemporary stations. On the other hand, the disposability of "Safe" and "Somebody's Rocking My Dreamboat" made it all the more evident that Cole was outgrowing the lighter and more upbeat material. A deep album cut, "The Rest of the Night" (co-written by Glen Ballard) is a major reason to not settle for an anthology.

Tift Merritt has long been a torchbearer in Americana. To mark the 20th anniversary of her Grammy-nominated album Tambourine, Merritt returns with Time and Patience - a companion piece of intimate re-recordings and new songs from Merritt's Tambourine era. Several of the recordings strip her beloved classic songs back to their raw essence - recorded at home, just voice and acoustic instruments, 20 years after it first made her a critical darling. Others have never been heard before.

Ever since Californication re-united the band with John Frusciante and spawned a couple hundred major hit singles, Red Hot Chili Peppers have done something that would have caused people to laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of the idea some decades back, becoming one of the planet's biggest rock acts. By the Way might have been a somber, mellow product of age and Frusciante's sudden hold on songwriting but its sudden style-switch did nothing to the general trajectory and launched the band even further. Stadium Arcadium, in all its bloated, massive glory is in its essence an album made by a Huge Band. It doesn't necessarily reflect on the scale of the sound - there's plenty of slower, subtler moments - but in its sound it's loud and clear an album that could only be made by a band that knows its stuff and knows they have to perform their stuff to millions of fans in thousand-head venues. In essence, an honest arena band rock record…

The jury is still out, 20 years after Chuck Berry’s pianist Johnnie Johnson’s passing, concerning what he contributed to the writing of some of the rock and roller’s biggest hits. It has never been in question how immensely gifted Johnson was, nor the influence of his playing on Berry’s early work.

While passionately seeking the creative breakthrough that fueled the old school R&B vision behind his upcoming fourth Trippin ‘N’ Rhythm album Blue Magic, multi-talented keyboardist, composer and producer Nicholas Cole kept up his wildly prolific ways collaborating with fellow genre greats, hitting #1 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Airplay chart with Marcus Anderson, and labelmate Ryan La Valette and the Top Ten with Anderson and Brian Culbertson.

Clouds were a highly influential Scottish prog-rock band formed in Edinburgh in the mid-1960s. Under their original name 1-2-3, the band gained attention in London's underground scene, especially at The Marquee Club in 1967. Their sound was ahead of its time–melding classical, jazz, and rock influences with no lead guitarist, and Billy Ritchie taking centre stage on keyboards. Ritchie's flamboyant, frontman-style organ work would later inspire keyboardists like Keith Emerson.
