Usher: Coming Home
Between landing a Super Bowl halftime performance and releasing his first solo album since 2016’s Hard II Love, February was a big month for Usher. The album contains some previously released tracks including the chill R&B single Good Good including 21 Savage and Summer Walker, which was met with mixed reviews back in the fall. But Usher is an artist who has consistently delivered hits for two decades now, and there is a lot to love on this album as well.
Lenny Kravitz: Blue Electric Light (March 15)
Few musical artists have enjoyed careers as long and varied as Lenny Kravitz, whose first studio album, Let Love Rule, was released in1989. Still, Blue Electric Light is the soulful vocalist’s first album since 2018, and as such is highly anticipated by fans and critics alike. The album’s single TK421 was released in February, garnering Kravitz praise for his ability to blend genres to create a sound that is as fun as it is heartbreaking and reaches straight for the soul.
Sheryl Crow: Evolution (March 30)
As someone who has been a Sheryl Crow fan for the majority of my life, it’s hard to believe that Tuesday Night Music Club is now over 30 years old. Nevertheless, Sheryl Crow has managed to successfully evolve over time, just as the title of her latest album implies. The released single of the same name, however, does not discuss Crow’s own evolution, but her unease at the evolution of the world around her. The song is meant to warn listeners of the effects of AI on art and life, something everyone should heed.
