In this week's music round-up, The New York Times highlights new notable tracks, including Maren Morris's 'Carry On,' which blends self-help themes with gospel influences to underscore personal agency in healing. Mumford & Sons feature Southern rock elements in their song 'Truth,' where Marcus Mumford expresses frustration with dishonesty. Timbaland surprises listeners with his album 'Timbo Progression,' infusing West African music into his trademark sound. Pablo Alboran's track 'Clickbait' critiques superficial online relationships, exploring the disconnect between public persona and private identity.
Equal parts self-help, Elton John and secular gospel, Carry On puts robust piano chords and a choir behind Maren Morris as she works on finding the will to heal herself.
Mumford & Sons get a strong infusion of Southern rock in Truth, as Marcus Mumford declares, I refuse to offer myself up to men who lie.
Timbaland has surprise-released an album that visits entirely unexpected territory: West African music, with a vintage sound.
Pablo Alboran's Clickbait confronts a different class of relationships: the parasocial ones online, revealing how superficial social media connections can be.
