Hello from the Jukebox! After various disruptions this month (the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as technical difficulties with the site), we are moving back to a slightly modified regular schedule: for the time being, we will be covering two songs per day instead of three. In the meantime, we have additional writing from our contributors to share. To all our readers: stay safe and healthy, and be sure to look for comfort in your favorite songs during this uncertain time.
- For Pitchfork, Ashley Bardhan reviewed Magdalena Bay’s A Little Rhythm and a Wicked Feeling and Yumi Zouma’s Truth or Consequences.
- Josh Langhoff wrote about Jesus Is Born, the first album from Kanye West’s Sunday Service Choir, for The Cresset.
- Thomas Inskeep, for Rock & Roll Globe, looked back at Linda Ronstadt’s Mad Love on its 40th anniversary.
