Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe BET Awards are officially a celebration of “Black excellence,” and Sunday night’s show featured blockbuster performances from Lizzo, Mariah Carey, Latto, Jack Harlow (who was joined by Brandy and Lil Wayne) and an elaborate tribute to Lifetime Achievement honoree Sean “Diddy” Combs that included an unannounced in-person speech from Kanye West.But for the second time in three years, the show coincided with galvanizing events in the United States: In 2020, it was George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police and the ensuing the Black Lives Matter protests, and this year it was the Supreme Court’s polarizing overturn of Roe v. Wade and the impending loss of a woman’s right to choose in many states in the country.

"I am so happy to be here with you tonight celebrating the people that we love and lost this year," the 75-year-old told the audience at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe Grammys might be the most well-known music awards show in the world, but the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s ceremony is arguably the most unique. The invite-only event, being held June 16 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City, and its awards honor the most important and yet most frequently overlooked people in the music business — the songwriter, duh — and it resembles a cross between the Grammys and an annual family reunion for the tight-knit songwriting and music-publishing community.At each ceremony, superstars receiving honors frequently tell the room that the accolade means more to them than any other award they’ve received, because it’s an endorsement and a validation from their peers.

Crying in H Mart: A Memoir is now being adapted into a feature film, and just a few weeks ago Time recognized her as a rising star by adding her to its annual list the Time 100 Next.Last year also saw the band release its third proper studio album, Jubilee, which felt like a debut all over again. Zauner does not entirely throw out her original playbook, and builds on her vocal prowess and knack for telling a good story.But Jubilee is far more dramatic and unrestrained than we might ever have expected, delivering nicely on Zauner’s goal to go “all out” on her third album, taking particular inspiration from Icelandic pop star Björk and her own third album, Homogenic.On Wednesday, Japanese Breakfast drops by Wolf Trap for an inspired double-bill pairing with Belle and Sebastian, a seven-piece, wistful-pop act, dubbed “Scottish sovereigns of indie pop” by Rolling Stone.They’re touring in support of an 11th studio album, A Bit of Previous, released last month, 26 years after their debut.Wednesday, June 15, starting at 7 p.m.
