Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea will release his first jazz album, Honora, March 27.  The album, which features both giants of the jazz genre and friends of his like Nick Cave and Thom Yorke, is the culmination of a life-long love affair with jazz.

On Lethal, her most self-assured album yet, she channels that instinct into a bold statement about standing alone, shedding approval-seeking, and reclaiming her power.

After years of nonstop momentum, Nova Twins felt the strain of a career that had gone from stillness to overdrive almost overnight. On Parasites & Butterflies, Amy Love and Georgia South lay their armor down, confronting burnout, vulnerability, and the cost of always having to be strong — onstage and off.
