Todd Gilchrist editor It’s been a long, hard road to Offset’s third solo album. Originally scheduled for release in November 2022 before the shooting death of fellow Migos member Takeoff, “Set It Off” shows major artistic growth for the Atlanta rapper and sets a new course for him as a solo artist — and features top-level collaborations from Travis Scott, Future, Don Tolliver, Latto, his wife Cardi B and more, and production from hitmakers like Metro Boomin, Boi-1da and Vinylz.
With 21 songs sprawled across an hour, not every track is a classic, but the best moments find this fiery artist at the absolute top of his game. Sampling Kirby’s “Black Leaves,” a retro-blues anthem used for the ABC miniseries “Women of the Movement,” “On the River” kicks off the album with an inventory of Offset’s lavish lifestyle (“White Rove / Twenty hoes / White gold / Mink roll”), which is a less sensitive reintroduction than one might expect after Offset’s experiences of the past few years (detailed at length in his Variety cover story earlier this year).

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Hard as it may be to imagine, at the dawn of the ‘90s, Prince was at a make-or-break point in his career, at least as a chart-busting superstar. He was one of the biggest artists in the world, but it had been several years since he’d had a real hit, and his image and public statements had been confusing, to say the least.

Taking Back Sunday have shared new single ‘Keep Going’ – with vocalist Adam Lazzara and guitarist John Nolan talking to NME about embracing pop for their “shiny” new album ‘152’, not wanting to celebrate the past and the much-needed community that playing live offers.The band’s eighth studio album ‘152’ is out this Friday (October 27) and “feels different” to what’s come before, according to Lazzara. “Going into the record, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make sure everything was miles away from anything we’d done before.”“When you’ve been doing this for as long as we have, there’s a danger it’ll get to a point where nobody cares that you’re putting out new music,” continued Nolan.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music To put the rather overheated hype around the new Rolling Stones album in superfan-quibbling terms, “Hackney Diamonds” is not their best work since “Some Girls,” released some 45 years ago — but it is their best since “Tattoo You,” which is just three years younger. That the Stones have reached such a peak while grappling with what an octogenarian rock band should sound like — one that recently lost their drummer of nearly 60 years, no less — is perhaps the most impressive feat of all.

Thania Garcia “What’s next for Bad Bunny?” has become a polarizing question in the Puerto Rican artist’s fanbase this year. After releasing his culturally shifting record “Un Verano Sin Ti” in 2022, the Grammy award winner has had a magnifying glass pressed up to his career (more recently on his love life) and even more immediately on his newly released, surprise LP “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana” (“Nobody Knows What Will Happen Tomorrow.”) After spending most of last year on tour, Bunny proclaimed 2023 as his year of rest, emerging only to headline Coachella or to claim verses on Travis Scott’s and Drake’s new albums, but “Nadie” proves he’s had a plan all along — or at the very least, that he’s had a lot on his mind: One hour and 21 minutes’ worth of trap, reggaeton, drill and electronic beats represent his present and previous muses, while lyrically he appears more vulnerable than ever.
