NPR Music's Ann Powers and Daoud Tyler-Ameen are your guides to the most compelling releases out Nov. 15. This week, they dig into a wide assortment of great new albums, including the long-awaited debut by a British trio reviving girl-group sounds from the turn of the millennium.
There's also the first release in almost a decade from a longtime country fave in a new, joyous phase of his life; a singer who has shown up on some of our favorite jazz albums of the year making an album inspired by traditional devotional music and Alice Coltrane; and a crew of Cincinnati indie-rock lifers coping with the loss of one of their own.
Plus, you'll hear a conversation about how some of the biggest stars in pop history have navigated the tricky transition between teenage and adult stardom.
