Moments in Timelessness

A flower bookmark, Pt. 3 - EP Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 IU In the same year IU, aka Lee Ji-eun, starred in the decade-spanning historical drama  When Life Gives You Tangerines , the Korean superstar released the third entry in her  A Flower Bookmark  series. The series, which began in 2014 with  A Flower Bookmark , is a nostalgic collection of albums that reinterprets iconic Korean songs in the pop star’s lyrical style.  A flower bookmark, Pt. 3  was IU’s first addition to the series in eight years, following 2017’s  A Flower Bookmark, Pt. 2 , and it features collaborations with Korean rapper-singer Wonstein and Korean music collective Balming Tiger. IU’s six song choices, which feature Korean megahits from the 1970s to 2000s, would be familiar to domestic listeners but new to most international listeners. Lead single “Never Ending Story” was originally released in 2002 by Boohwal, the legendary Korean rock band formed in the 1980s that found a new generati...

The Marshall Mathers LP (25th Anniversary) Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Eminem Getting famous must’ve felt good, but you have to imagine Eminem took special pleasure when  The Marshall Mathers LP  got called out in the US Senate not long after its release in 2000: “He talks about murdering and raping his mother. He talks about choking women slowly so he can hear their screams for a long time. He talks about using O.J.’s machete on women. And this is a man who is honored by the recording industry.” The speaker here is Lynne Cheney, the wife of a man who, not long afterward, would become one of the country’s biggest boosters for the invasion of Iraq, and an unapologetic supporter of an “enhanced interrogation program” that would be condemned domestically and internationally as torture. Dick Cheney knew a thing or two about real-world brutality. But why go for the bigger catch when you can fry what’s right in front of you? “Now it’s too late/I’m triple platinum and tragedies happen...

Ya No Se Llevan Serenatas Album ∙ Latin ∙ 2025 Gabito Ballesteros Rising in música mexicana via a string of 2023 and 2024 hits and fan favorites alongside some of the genre’s brightest, Gabito Ballesteros reached star status with a viral swiftness. By the time his album  THE GB  dropped, he’d become one of the more prominent young figures in the modern corridos scene. Yet on his follow-up  Ya No Se Llevan Serenatas , the singer reveals a previously muted romantic side, now fully on display as he gives voice to relatable matters of the heart. Songs like “PICASSO” and the rousing “OTRO LOKERON” show how seamlessly such themes suit his existing style. A spectrum of emotions fills the substantial album’s contents, from the jealous rage simmering on “NISSANCITA” to the conciliatory come-ons behind “DISNEYLANDIA.” His earnest performance on “ÁREA 51 V1” bolsters the track’s case for loving protections, all the more impressive when he subsequently concedes in owning flaws on the...

The Talco Tapes Album ∙ Country ∙ 2025 Treaty Oak Revival Treaty Oak Revival revisits some of their best-loved tracks on this stripped-down acoustic collection, which pulls material from the Odessa, Texas, act’s first two full-length albums, 2021’s  No Vacancy  and 2023’s  Have a Nice Day  and tosses in a cover for good measure. Known for their rough and rowdy approach to country rock, the band still sounds raw and potent with these toned-down arrangements, which offer a little more space for lead vocalist Sam Canty to wrench emotion out of the songs’ often narrative lyrics. Recorded at the SoundBank Studios in Talco, Texas,  The Talco Tapes  kicks off with “I’m the Worst,” a fan favorite that, in this incarnation, sounds twangier than its sludgy studio counterpart. “Boomtown” swaps the Tom Petty influence of the original for a more Red Dirt sound, with pristine pedal steel cutting through acoustic guitar. “Ode to Bourbon” dials up the harmonies, and “Fishn...
