GRAMMY-winning producer Nigel Godrich was given unusually strong oversite of the album. The former bassist for Pink Floyd, Waters' latest album hearkens back to a 1970s sound.
Roger Waters, Is This The Life We Really Want?
There's dancehall with a Diplo co-produce, a Latin connection with a J Balvin feature and a revisit of the seminal, "Smile." While Complex calls the album "a new dad rap classic" in light of its devotion to Wale's daughter, it's not a bad thing - the "different flavors" the album evokes are cause for celebration. Rapper Wale's fifth studio album, Shine, covers a lot of musical ground across 14 tracks. His first album since winning the GRAMMY for Best Country Album for 2015's Traveller, From A Room: Volume 1 also embraces '70s-sounding outlaw country, including a cover of Willie Nelson's "Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning." While the record only runs approximately 30 minutes, Variety said, "Country has been holding out for a hero so long, even a display of superpowers as modest as From A Room feels epic enough." Wale, Shine " No Shape rebukes tasteful minimalism and embraces beauty at its most transgressive." "These songs swoop and chatter like flocks of mad starlings, light up like religious paintings, … make the cosmos explode inside your ribs," Pitchfork writes. Produced by GRAMMY winner Blake Mills, the singer/songwriter continues his confessional brand of indie-pop in grand style. Perfume Genius - aka Mike Hadreas - is back with his fourth studio album, No Shape. Or, as Rolling Stone says, it's "a record that's so sunshine-bright it gives off a glare at times, rooted in fleet basslines and beats made for open-road drives and solo bedroom dance parties" that also has a bit of "cocked-eyebrow trepidation." Perfume Genius, No Shape Paramore's After Laughter is a "very of-the-moment" pop record that ditches the bubblegum but keeps the catchy hooks.
Logic talks about 'Everybody' Paramore, After Laughter 1 on the Billboard 200, and said it "further solidifies Logic solid standing in hip-hop." Rapper Logic has taken his game to the next level withn Everybody, on which he tackles everything from mental health to his biracial identity. "If you have vitiligo or if you're gay or whatever it is, embrace yourself. "Don't be afraid to do you, to be you," Lil Yachty said on Instagram Live. The 21-song album reflects an empowering, "be yourself" message. With guests such as Migos, YG, Kamaiyah, and GRAMMY winner Diplo, Lil Yachty is ramping up with Teenage Emotions.

The "Same Love" GRAMMY nominee is back at it with her latest, the crowdfunded EP, Bold, which Bust describes as a mix of "emotionally deep and thought-provoking songs" and "fun feel-good jams." Bold is an open and honest ode to living a full life and includes a little dancing, a little poetry and even a duet with her mom. Like many of her acclaimed albums, GRAMMY winner Lafourcade's Musas "serves as a mini lesson in Latin American music." A combination of Latin American standards and songs written or co-written by Lafourcade, she told Remezcla the album represents "patience" and "humanity." Mary Lambert, Bold Produced by GRAMMY winner Tommy LiPuma prior to his passing this past March, says of the album, "The end result is so elegant, it seems effortless." Natalia Lafourcade, Musas The sultry-voiced GRAMMY winner takes it back to basics for Turn Up The Quiet as she revisits standards such as "L-O-V-E," "Blue Skies" and "Night And Day" with alternating backing bands. "Bolstered again by the louche and ravaged voice of singer Greg Dulli," writes Pitchfork, "the latest from the indie rock icons is delightfully stuffed with romance and rancor." Diana Krall, Turn Up the Quiet This '90s alt-rock mainstay is back In Spades with their second release since reuniting in 2012.
