Justin Timberlake, Tierra Whack, Black Crowes, Kacey Musgraves: The albums of the week in the sound check

Justin Timberlake: Everything I Thought It Was (Sony)
There’s something almost desperate about how Justin Timberlake tries to get back on the dance floor six years after the failed “Men Of The Woods”. Sometimes he relies on updates of his own noughties sound on his overly long sixth solo album, sometimes he seems to be following in the footsteps of Dua Lipa. Although he always manages to create fine songs and moments, the overall impression remains erratic. Nadine Lange, Tagesspiegel

Tierra Whack: World Wide Whack (Universal)
It was long awaited: the first real album from the rap talent Tierra Whack. Although it would be too short to describe her as just a rapper: Tierra Whack crosses genre boundaries and creates her very own world. On “World Wide Whack” she lets her alter ego “Whack”, a kind of human-clown hybrid, roam through world history and philosophize about creative work and its challenges, demands, mental health and the search for meaning – all in a dazzling pop -Rap kaleidoscope.

Kacey Musgraves: Deeper Well (Universal)
Kacey Musgraves has repeatedly hit the mark in recent years. Sometimes the Texan looked towards traditional country, sometimes she flirted with the grand pop gesture. On her seventh album “Deeper Well” she celebrates a new inwardness: to a sound that is diffusely grounded in the folk of the 60s and 70s, she sings about her new sobriety, the beauty of nature and the patterns that the sun creates on her floor throws. That’s hippie shit sometimes. But it’s strangely touching at the same time. Jochen Overbeck, cultural journalist

The Black Crowes: Happiness Bastards (Silver Arrow)
Of course, the Robinson brothers, now reunited once again in a long-lasting love-hate relationship, are not reinventing themselves here: they are reinventing themselves. The first joint album after 15 years of Communication Breakdown is rather a reenactment of the most successful Black Crowes phase in the early 90s: right down to the video for “Wanting And Waiting”, the brothers recreate their sounds, styles and poses from that time. However: The energy is right! Torsten Groß, moderator
