The album is described as the legendary avant-garde industrial outfit's "most pop outing" to date, as hinted by the lead single "Allgorhythm," which features Ghanaian singer Wiyaala and a notable co-production credit from pop auteur Richard X. Building from a humorous spoken-word passage from frontman Milan Fras, the song kicks into a club-ready, dance-pop beat that occasionally drops out for more sardonic lines from Fras, such as the chorus refrain: "Slaves to the algorithm."

Today marks a defining moment for the rising star, singer-songwriter, and performance artist Molly Mogul as she unveils her new single "Run," offering a tantalising taste of her forthcoming debut album set to drop this spring. This track serves as an invitation into a vibrant new chapter for the German artist, featuring an entrancing blend of pop, experimental soundscapes, and movement-based storytelling.

It's a bit surprising to see Pop command a big league deal. He bounced around during the 2025 season. He opened the year with the Blue Jays but was released shortly after Opening Day. Pop got to the big leagues for four appearances with the Mariners and pitched one time as a member of the Mets. He allowed 12 runs (11 earned) in just 6 2/3 MLB innings. That pushed his career earned run average to 4.88 over 162 1/3 frames spanning five seasons.

From her early teens, Su was drawn to music, taking singing lessons and mastering the piano. She found inspiration within the electronic sounds of artists like Charli XCX and SOPHIE, eventually leading her to London to pursue music production at BIMM. Collaborating with innovative talents like Big Softy's s.g. cackle helped shape her unique sound, blending clunky, avant-garde guitar riffs with pop sensibilities.

Eli, a 25-year-old singer-songwriter who traces her inspiration to American Idol, is that best friend distilled in a pop bonbon: Her new single "Glitter" is as breezy and familiar as a radio hit remembered from childhood. Over a slow-jam groove and twinkly, late-'90s-flavored production, Eli draws on her Jordin Sparks-esque powers and gently instructs you to get some standards: "You should be his baby, not his babysitter."

2. SZA, "Lana"The only dishonest thing about "Lana," which arrived just before Christmas last year as 15 new songs slipped under the wrapping of 2022's "SOS," is that SZA says it's not an album. 3. Madi Diaz, "Fatal Optimist"Nothing to lose and nowhere to hide. 4. Morgan Wallen, "I'm the Problem"It's his party, and he'll cry if he wants to.

It's easy to appreciate his way with a hook, and his vocal range remains impressive beneath all the effects. You might wonder if a Tobias Jesso Jr.-style future writing for other artists is in the cards. Plus, he's surrounded by talented people: An album with Prince's guitarist Wendy Melvoin on several songs and Shawn Everett on the mix is guaranteed to groove and sparkle in all the right ways.

There's so much going this fall season in the Bay Area concert scene. And the best part? It's all over the place - both in terms of genres and location. How about some classic rock from Blue Oyster Cult at Plaza de Cesar Chavez in San Jose? Maybe you'd prefer to catch up the ever-amazing pop star Lorde at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley? Or how about the pairing of jazz greats Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau at the Presidio Theatre in San Francisco?
