|
|
If eighteen hours at the opera seems a bridge too far, Poulenc's "Dialogues des Carmélites" (May 3-11), in which the stellar Isabel Leonard reprises her role as a lyrically tremulous nun, provides a historico-religious gut punch in only three.
|

|
|
Compare all this to a song like Game of Thrones' "The Rains of Castamere," which keeps to a clear folk aesthetic, both lyrically and musically: It's simple, using few instruments, with a naturalistic singer and a song that feels very balladic.

Lyrically and vocally, her introspection is framed by the presence of a larger community — the enacted community of choir singing, and the imagined community of Black artists alluded to in the song titles, addressed or impersonated or merely invoked as mythical presences.
|
|
Lambert is the hookiest of pop-country queens, responsible for hit ballads, giant arena-rock bangers, and some of country's deftest fusions of acoustic guitar twang and electric power chords; musically as well as lyrically, she rocks with a grand sense of scale.

|
|
Father George Zatarga, long the chaplain at Bishop Loughlin, the high school on Lafayette Avenue, later admitted to "inappropriate behavior" with boys on trips to a cabin north of Albany (behavior he recorded lyrically in a "travel log": skinny-dipping and the like).

Whether or not the Moana soundtrack supplants "Let it Go" in the minivans of parents everywhere may depend more on the parents' need to switch than anything else: Moana's soundtrack is exuberant and fun, but a little more lyrically complicated, and thus potentially less earwormy.
|
|
You have to make sure you're on point lyrically if you're on a tune with Will because he's just such a good MC. Obviously he was doing his thing back in the old Rinse FM days, and everybody knows each other from back then.

Samia considers herself a folk singer first, interested in writing "lyrically obscure, verbose, Dylan-esque songs," and that's the vast majority of what she's been performing, bopping between Midtown lounge The Cutting Room and any Lower East Side or Williamsburg 100-capacity venue that will have her.

|
"Bad Energy (Stay Far Away)" is mellower than anything else Skepta's put out this year—his last single "Pure Water" and his feature on A$AP Rocky's "Praise the Lord (Da Shine)" were sonically and lyrically forthright—and it's more celebratory than the title could've implied.
|

Lyrically, the new track has a relatably similar message to some of her past songs ("Two years, and just like that / My head still takes me back / Thought it was done, but I / Guess it's never really over," the chorus goes, in part), but that's where the parallels end.
|
|

|
|
The first single that the band released from the record, "Everything Now," seemed to set us up for an ABBA-esque, disco-heavy, anti-internet concept record with a party-through-the-apocalypse vibe; but "Creature Comfort," released Friday, had another angle entirely, sonically peppy, but lyrically devastating.
|
|
The album won a Grammy and Billboard Music award; released stunning visuals inspired by Ghanaian-British painter Lynette Yiadom-Boakye; lyrically confronted the everyday battles of modern racism in a contentious election year; and helped solidify Solange as thought-leader who addressed agency and ownership in the Black community.
|

|
|
Originally set for release in December 1987, The Black Album—also known as The Funk Bible in some press releases from the time—was murky, sardonic, and lyrically vicious, an apparent response to the critics who claimed Prince had drifted too far from black pop music through the 80s.
|
|
There are the cheeky love songs like "Girls, Girls, Girls" where he's lyrically running through women (because #romance) or, of course, anything he creates with Beyoncé—nobody would mistake "03' Bonnie and Clyde" for a sappy ballad, but that doesn't mean it's not a hell of a love song.
|
|
You may recognize a bit of A.S. Byatt in the way Perry leaps into her characters' philosophical debates, but she is at her lushest and most original when she can describe the natural world — not lyrically, but in a gothic mode, all rotting and fecund vegetation and marshy ground.
|
|
Its subject is fetishism in clothing and the film lyrically flits between chats with dowdy-looking men and women who speak with starry-eyed love about their feelings towards the texture of rubber in clothing, and dance-like sequences where the sadomasochistic function of these clothes is paraded without censure.
|
|
It's a great merging of the reality at the center of the stories Musgraves tells via her songs, and her fantastical embellishments of those stories, both musically and lyrically—oh, and it's also pretty sad, with bonus #relatable scene of a stood-up Kacey drinking a large glass of white wine.
|
|

|
|
Lyrically, the mood is basically melancholy, which in songs like the mournful "Bellarine," the reminiscent "Cappuccino City," the pro-immigrant "Mainland," and my favorite, the love-out-of-reach "Talking Straight" are dark notes I'm inclined to suspect their stauncher fans don't feel, because that would dull their jangle-fix.
|
|
Still, as before, the production can serve as a platform for excellent singing, and that was supplied here by a strong group of women: the warm-toned Russian Hibla Gerzmava as Donna Anna, the lyrically flighty Swede Malin Bystrom as Donna Elvira, and the appealingly earthy Italian Serena Malfi as Zerlina.
|
|
As if all of this wasn't enough, the deluxe edition of 2016's ANTI graced us with one of the best bonus tracks of all time: "Sex With Me." It's absolutely saturated with sex, and not solely lyrically, vocally, or because it's performed by a beautiful and iconic sex symbol.
|
|
Though he's been involved with some high-profile beefs in recent years, his responses here are largely subdued — teaming with Jay-Z, another titan with a roller-coaster relationship with Mr. West, on "Talk Up," or "8 Out of 10," which sounds like a taunt at Mr. West, lyrically and musically.
|
|
Mr. Crossman, the best known, retains his happy, elfin-animal frankness while showing a new maturity; Ms. Haarmann, alert and responsive, has effortless authority; Mr. Collins is charmingly, lyrically coltish; Ms. Jones, tall with bewilderingly long legs, has an air both wry and innocent; Ms. Flores is tiny, vivid, with juicily textured movement.
|
|
Lyrically it feels cavernous, like both digging into the past and digging yourself out of it, and, as it combines that emotional depth with classically pretty vocals and the same Tumblr-tinted look, it's a good stopgap between "1950" and whatever the next sprinkle-of-magic single from King Princess will be.
|
|
A lot of the lyrics talk about mortality and Fate: dodging hangmen, being hunted by Death, rolling dice…Lyrically what was going through my head was I was looking at my life and all the ways that I, by all accounts, should be dead or at least in a very bad living situation.

|
|
We tried to record it but the folk thing didn't make sense to me for this record and so when we started making the record we revisited 'Jealous Sea' and it was lyrically such an important song to me, melodically too...We just made it really dark, we changed some of the lyrics around.
