February Music Preview: Paramore, Shania Twain, Gorillaz, and Rebecca Black hit the comeback trail
New albums from Lil Uzi Vert, Andy Shauf, and Tennis also highlight February's new album releases
Music News Gorillaz
This month feels like a comeback moment for several artists, most of whom have not released an album since well before the pandemic. That includes country pop star Shania Twain, whose last record came in the form of 2017’s Now. There’s also modern soul vanguard Kelela, who’s making a return following her 2017 breakthrough. Another group who hasn’t shared a project since 2017? Pop-punk frontrunners Paramore, led by Hayley Williams.
And you can consider Rebecca Black’s debut record, Let Her Burn, a reintroduction. Although she’s pressed into the digital pages of the internet for her viral hit “Friday,” Black has spent the last few years carving out her own space in the pop world. February also brings records from Tennis, Andy Shauf, Gorillaz, Lil Uzi Vert, Caroline Polachek, and Yo La Tengo, among others.

The first Caroline Polachek album just made me wish Chairlift was still around. I like that what I’ve heard so far from the new album brings some “weird Caroline” back into the pop mix.The Church just continues to crank out great tunes and even though Steve’s closing in on 70, their live shows are still fabulous.
Rebecca Black lol
She was one of the best judges on “Is It Cake?”
Why are people allowing this?
Why wouldn’t they?
February highlights for me not on the list:The Men – New York City (2/3)
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs – Land of Sleeper (2/17)
The Secret Machines – The Moth, the Lizard, and the Secret Machines (2/24)
