Bon Jovi have announced Forever (Legendary Edition), a collaborative edition of last year’s Forever. Set for release on October 24, it features Jelly Roll, Avril Lavigne, Robbie Williams, Lainey Wilson, Ryan Tedder, the War & Treaty, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, and more. Today, they’ve released the Bruce Springsteen collab ‘Hollow Man’, as well as a new Bon Jovi track with no guest feature called ‘Red, White and Jersey’. Take a listen below.
“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity,” Bon Jovi said in a ;press release. “My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me. Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit — a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends. I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE.”

“I’m a material bitch,” 
Linear progression is generally a myth, yet one often projected onto artists, who must continually level up their sound without straying from their original vision. 
Case Oats recorded their debut album, Last Missouri Exit, after months of playing its songs on the road, which is evident in their buoyant, easygoing confidence. It’s named after a sign on the freeway to Chicago from Casey Gomez Walker’s hometown that, one day, signalled the end of childhood for her. So Last Missouri Exit is a record of early adulthood, but a uniquely incisive and generous one at that, harbouring tenderness for the roughest parts of ourselves that surface in those transitional moments. Seeing it in her friends and bandmates first, Gomez Walker sings with the warmth of knowing the rest of the world will relate. Read our

When Dijon sings that he’s on fire, you believe him. But it’s different from any other artist trying to sell the idea that lasting love has the power to obliterate all your insecurities. It’s chaotic, Dijon Duenas affirms, making swooning, infectious, dazzling R&B music that can sound on the verge of a breakdown even – or especially – at its most ecstatic. With help from Andrew Sarlo, Henry Kwapis, and Michael Gordon, the Los Angeles-based musician and producer has no issue fragmenting his most immediate hooks or rendering his voice unrecognizable when he’s most breathlessly trying to express himself. Whatever inspiration it owes to the past, Baby suggests you can no longer make beautiful, revelatory pop music without sounding at least a bit precarious or unwieldy.

Sophie Payten keeps an endless note on her phone where she jots down lines or words as they come to her. During the eighteen months that she couldn’t bear to write songs, while working as doctor through the pandemic (having just quit to focus on music), those ideas were reasonably scattered. But when she sat in Phoenix Central Park in an early attempt to start piecing together Like Plasticine, it was clear she had absorbed enough accumulating emotion – grief felt and observed, love gained and lost – to mould it into shape. Like both her writing and recording process, the songs on the album aren’t as linear as 2020’s Our Two Skin, but they are revelatory in its softness and malleability, asserting that we are as open to transformation in life as we are in death.

With a title like Bugland, it feels lazy to call No Joy’s new album playful. It’s really the way Jasamine White-Gluz’s work registers as a playground that’s so thrilling: a place that triggers fuzzy memories, a fantastical portal, a wild abstraction with no equivalent in the real world. Beyond their shared musical interests and boundless genre-hopping – having the most fun in the islands of nu metal, shoegaze, and pop music – it’s where her approach intersects with Fire-Toolz’s Angel Marcloid, who co-produced the Motherhood follow-up not just with wide-eyed maximalism but true enthusiasm. It’s a wonder to hear them play and burst into a swirl of emotions mostly antithetical to the project’s name, to linger and rush out of them – maybe cutting the word in half does it more justice – fully.
Effortless – that word has been used to describe 
For their mesmerizing second album, Magic of the Sale, Teethe’s recording process, split between their current home bases across Dallas and Austin, stayed virtually unchanged: tracking demos and uploading them to a shared folder. This time, though, the group of trusted contributors that helped bring to life their tender-hearted melancholy and warm existentialism widened: Charlie Martin of Hovvdy, performing additional piano; Wednesday/MJ Lenderman’s Xandy Chelmis on pedal steel, producer Logan Hornyak of Melaina Kol, and Emily Elkin on cello. “Hear your words like photos felt in sound,” a muffled voice sings on ‘Iron Wine’, stirring a wave of distortion. “Holding what our eyes can’t make up now.” Magic of the Sale sounds like slowing down the blink of an eye, where the smallest, most precious emotions seep into view.
