Rosalía's 'Lux' tour stop at the Forum got a rave review, while Beth Orton's latest album shows an artist still evolving. Meanwhile, the OMG Girlz trial ended with no punitive damages, and Lil Wayne had to apologize for a no-show.
Two major music reviews landed today, one celebrating a pop spectacle and the other a quiet evolution.
Rosalía's 'Lux' tour at the Forum is called one of the year's best, with a cameo from Karol G and theatrical flair that elevates the concert beyond a typical pop show.
Beth Orton's 'The Ground Above' marks a shift from her beat-heavy past toward expansive, live-arrangement music, drawing comparisons to David Bowie's 'Blackstar'.
Two stories show the messy side of fame: a jury denies punitive damages in the OMG Girlz case, and Lil Wayne issues a mea culpa for a missed show.
The jury awarded $0 in punitive damages to T.I. and Tiny in the OMG Girlz trial against MGA Entertainment, capping their total recovery at $17.9 million.
Lil Wayne failed to show for the first date of his tour extension in Bangor, Maine, and apologized on Instagram, rescheduling the show to July 28.
