New Music Friday: The best albums out Oct. 11
The rapper-turned-country star Jelly Roll, who has had a major breakthrough in Nashville in the last couple of years, leads the pack of the most exciting albums out on Friday, October 11. As NPR Music’s Daoud Tyler-Ameen and WRTI’s Nate Chinen discuss, his new album Beautifully Broken is a powerful (and sometimes overwhelming) portrait of recovery and empathy for those grappling with addiction.
Also on the show this week: The second album from punk teens The Linda Lindas feels like confirmation of a promising career; Samara Joy and Immanuel Wilkins put two different approaches to the modern jazz vocal album on display; indie rapper E L U C I D combines influences from Miles Davis to Public Enemy into something harrowing and new and Charli XCX’s remix album leads us to consider the tradition of artists reworking their own songs.
