"As for this week's new albums, I highlight seven below, and Bill tackles more in Indie Basement, including Peaches, Apparat, Hen Ogledd (Richard Dawson), and the Would-Be-Goods. On top of those, this week's honorable mentions include the U2 EP, Mumford & Sons, Moby, Mirah, Mx Lonely, Exhumed, Altin Gün, Mozzy & EST Gee, Babyfxce E, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean, New Found Glory, Hilary Duff, Lil Tjay, David Hillyard & The Rocksteady 7,"
"In a world that's constantly putting pressure on rising rappers to quickly capitalize on any breakthroughs, Baby Keem is playing a different game. He started blowing up off the strength of his official debut album, 2021's The Melodic Blue, and he only got bigger after opening his cousin Kendrick Lamar's Big Steppers Tour. But what he did next was retreat from the spotlight entirely; he hasn't performed live or released so much as a guest verse in nearly three years."
The week brought new album announcements from Foo Fighters and Failure, plus an announcement from Hotelier and many additional music developments. BV Weekly covered indie sleaze discourse and Gene Simmons' comments about rap music and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Seven new albums received focused picks, while Indie Basement featured releases by Peaches, Apparat, Hen Ogledd (Richard Dawson), and the Would-Be-Goods. A long list of honorable mentions spans artists from U2 and Mumford & Sons to an expanded edition of Tori Amos' Strange Little Girls. Baby Keem returned from a near three-year public retreat with Ca$ino, released without pre-release singles.
