‘L.W.’ proves King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard can master microtonality a third time

Instead of weary twangs and off-beat rhythms that sound discordant to the untrained ear (which is most of us), L.W. plays wonderfully to the strengths of the band and is a captivating and memorable release.

Illustration of the main characters of the movie "Love the One You're With," two Black men with a colorful sunset in the background

‘Love the One You’re With’ is a raw, authentic Black queer story

The film features a rather intimate storytelling style, making it immensely bingeable; it feels as though a friendship is blossoming between the audience and characters at every moment.

Nick Jonas’ ‘Spaceman’ is upbeat cry for help

Lyrically, this is Jonas at his absolute best. With this track, he proves a crucial fact about pop music that many in the industry strive to avoid: pop can be real.

Live from New York: ‘SNL’ busts out musical material for Nick Jonas

Former Disney Channel star and current Priyanka Chopra husband Nick Jonas isn’t a natural comedy performer — his practiced brand of rigid geniality translated into some very stilted reading off of the cue cards on this week’s “Saturday Night Live.”

Madison Beer’s bittersweet ‘Life Support’ manages to prevail with bravery

Beer’s often ambitious songwriting on Life Support suggests significant promise, but its depth isn’t consistently reflected by the album’s distracting production. It chips away at the refreshing qualities of her sincerity and bravery, making what could have been transformative into something much more mundane.

Legal drama rings hollow in ‘The Mauritanian’

By the end, “The Mauritanian” claws itself out of the pit it fell into, but far too late. Once it recognizes daylight, like the crashing waves seen through a tattered prison fence in a late scene, it rushes to save itself.
