You asked and we listened: Roséwave is back! Our summer playlist series returns with syrupy sweet songs.

Ozzy Osbourne, dubbed "The Prince of Darkness," has died at the age of 76. His band Black Sabbath laid the foundation of heavy metal music and has inspired bands for five decades.

The four original members of the pioneering heavy metal band Black Sabbath will perform one last time together on Saturday, back in the city where they grew up: Birmingham, England.

The duo's music leans into small moments in order to make the outsized ones seem surmountable.

There's an invitation in these songs, largely pulled from her 2024 release Lives Outgrown, to bear witness to Gibbons' own tragedy and transformation.

Is Sunday morning the best time for music? Whether it's a time for solitude, getting together with family or friends, or just steeling yourself for the week to come, we've got the perfect album to score your early hours.

Music can transport you, even or especially when the destination's unknown. For 22 minutes, this is what Jeff Parker's Tiny Desk with the ETA IVtet can offer: a space for your mind to meditate on what the music speaks, set to a gossamer groove.

The "tenderpunk" band brings its silly, sophisticated and scrappy songs to the Tiny Desk — along with a confetti cannon.

Our third installment of calming songs includes Max Richter's tribute to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ambient sounds from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Brazilian jazz from Wayne Shorter and more.

Gnawa music has always been about breaking down barriers. With ecstatic vocalizations, stringed instruments and clashing percussion, this sound has roots in Morocco, but its West African influences are disparate and the diaspora is wide. Zar Electrik, a trio from Marseille, France, taps into that centuries-long tradition at the Tiny Desk.
