Today's music news offers a contrast: RosalĂa is delivering one of the year's most acclaimed tours, while Lil Wayne is making apologies after missing his own concert. Reviews also land for new albums from Beth Orton and Mildred, both earning serious critical attention.
Two very different concert stories: one a triumph, one a fumble.
RosalĂa's 'Lux' tour stop at the Forum gets a rave from Variety, which calls it one of the year's most brilliantly conceived tours. A cameo from Karol G adds to the buzz.
Lil Wayne no-showed the first date of his tour extension in Bangor, Maine. He apologized on Instagram and says the show is rescheduled to July 28.
Two veteran artists return with albums that critics are taking seriously.
Pitchfork reviews Beth Orton's 'The Ground Above,' noting her evolution from 1990s folk-pop toward expansive, live-arrangement-driven music, drawing comparisons to Bowie's Blackstar.
Pitchfork also reviews Mildred's 'Fenceline,' praising the band's sharp riffs, harmonies, and novelist-like lyrical detail.
