The Rap Music That Defined 2025 | Defector

After working in music journalism for over 10 years, if there's one thing I've come away feeling it's a true hatred for making lists. The very process of having to pick 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 of the best songs or albums or whatever and make it sound definitive is annoying in itself. When you add the inevitable consternation from the readership, then it becomes even more untenable.

Nash Ensemble: Ravel album review catches the music's dazzling light and intriguing shade

This all-Ravel recording by the Nash Ensemble was the final project of Amelia Freedman's extraordinary 60 years as artistic director, and it's a fitting farewell to the group's much-missed founder, who died in July. It includes all three larger chamber works plus the composer's own two-piano arrangement of his orchestral masterpiece La Valse: Alasdair Beatson and Simon Crawford-Phillips are a polished team in this, sounding wonderfully louche early on and then dispatching fistfuls of notes and long glissandos with seeming ease, all while catching the music's increasingly sinister nature.

The future of country music is here, and it's AI

When songwriter Patrick Irwin moved to Nashville last year, he was entering a lottery. Each day hundreds of sessions take place where writers create a song demo to pitch to a publisher. Publishers then share those songs with labels and managers, who may share those songs with the artists. Even if a major country star records ("cuts") the song, it still takes a stroke of luck for that song to become a No. 1 hit.

He followed it up with "Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3," the much anticipated sophomore effort from Latintronica outfit Nortec Collective. (As it turns out, the band never recorded a Vol. 2.)

Two years later, Thirty Seconds to Mars drummer Shannon Leto recently paid a visit to the Drumeo studio.
