Devotion
Jessie Ware
A blend of R&B, synth pop, and soul,
Ware’s sound is a mix of ‘80s and early
‘90
s. Throwbackish but very sophisticated
in its production, Ware keeps things fresh
and current. Tune in to “Running,” “Sweet
Talk,” and “Imagine It Was Us” and melt
into music.
Comedown Machine
The Strokes
The fifth studio album by the American indie
rock band,
Comedown Machine
features the
single “All the Time”. Filled with laidback
vocals of Julian Casablancas, tightly knit
rhythms, and jagged guitar riffs, fans have
said that there’s a palpable connection
between band mates that can be felt
through all songs on the album.
The Next Day
David Bowie
Recorded in complete secrecy, the music
icon’s first studio album in 10 years
seemed to come out of nowhere. His single
“
Where Are We Now” was released in
January and the full album was finally
launched just this March. This is touted by
many as the best comeback album ever.

The familiar plotlines don’t take anything away
from these fun and always action-packed flicks
The vulnerable
superhero
Iron Man 3
Heeeee’s back! Marvel’s much
awaited
Iron Man 3
won’t
disappoint fans as it pits brash-but-
brilliant industrialist Tony Stark,
a.k.a., Iron Man against his most
formidable enemy yet. Our savvy
super hero finds his whole personal
world literally destroyed and faces
a harrowing journey relying only
on his ingenuity and instincts to
protect those closest to him. In the
process he discovers the answer
to a question that has secretly
haunted him since he first suited
up: does the man make the suit or
does the suit make the man?
In theaters April 24.
One more for the boys
The Hangover III
After
Silver Linings Playbook
showed off Bradley Copper’s acting chops (proving that he’s
so much more than just an oh-so-pretty face), he’s back in sloppy, savvy, you sometimes-
have-to-cringe style in the third and final film of the record-shattering comedy franchise.
This time, there’s no wedding, and no bachelor party. But when The Wolfpack’s back in
business the question is: what
can’t
go wrong? In theaters May 29.
Still pushing limits
Fast and Furious 6
There’s a reason why this movie franchise
has hit film number six — adrenaline-rush
seekers need their fix! This time Dom
(
Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) are
fueled not just by a need for speed, but
by a longing for home. Of course the
long road back is bound to be filled with
bumps, blowups, and bare-necked racing.
In theaters May 14.
