Today's music coverage turns inward, with major reviews and retrospectives that dig into artists' roots and reinventions. Pitchfork leads with deep dives on both Beck's bluesy pivot and Rebecca Black's queer club evolution, while a tribute to John Farnham reminds us how legacy is built across generations.
Two major album reviews today trace very different paths to artistic maturity.
Pitchfork's review frames Rebecca Black's second album as a map of a fictional Los Angeles built from suburban roots and queer club culture, with a production team that includes Nightfeelings and Oscar Scheller. It's a serious critical look at an artist still fighting her "Friday" shadow.
Beck's new album "Ride Lonesome" gets a review that contrasts his absurdist 90s image with his long history of straight-faced blues and folk covers, setting up a forthcoming book about his career. It's a reframing of Beck as a roots musician who happened to be funny.
Live music news balances a massive tribute to an Australian icon with a new festival announcement.
Over 120 artists including Celine Dion, Chris Martin, and Hugh Jackman performed at a Melbourne tribute to John Farnham, who couldn't attend. The livestream aimed to set an Australian viewing record, turning a tribute into a national event.
Echoes Of Us, a new house and techno festival, will debut in Melbourne and another city on November 7-8 with a heavyweight A-to-Z lineup. It's a sign of confidence in Australia's electronic music scene post-pandemic.
