Lollapalooza season is officially on us....sorta.
Well at least we know who is going to be gracing Chicago and the Sloop with their presence during the weekend of August 3rd-6th:
While we get older the music doesn't age (maybe with the exception of Red Hot Chili Peppers). A lot of these acts are new to us, but surprisingly I'm familiar with more than some of the recent lineups. Like most, we'll be digging in over the spring/summer to scope out who we're liking.
Please share acts that you're excited about so we can give them a listen.
While it may be a bit obvious to be excited about the the top of the list performer, Kendrick Lamar is a unique voice in hip hop and continues to push the envelope. This is one of the best still doing his thing and arguably in his prime - so should be a recipe for a great festival show.
We asked for some help from our favorite AI friend to give us the latest on Kendrick Lamar's latest album for those who may not know:Kendrick Lamar's newest album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers has been received positively by critics. According to NME, it is a "cathartic, soul-baring autobiography". The album sees Lamar overcome "writer's block" to triumph with a collection on which his observational skills go into overdrive.
The album has been praised for its differences from previous albums. According to Pitchfork, "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" is a thorny double album featuring everyone from Kodak Black to Portishead’s Beth Gibbons. It also explores vulnerability, the challenges of newfound fatherhood and his marriage.
We've heard the album compared to a therapy session and judging by this video from the album we can see why:
