The wait is over. It’s been nearly three years since Billie Eilish dropped her sophomore album, Happier Than Ever. This spring, the Grammy- and Oscar-winning superstar has followed it up with her third LP, Hit Me Hard and Soft, now available to order online.
“I feel like this album is me,” Eilish told Rolling Stone about Hit Me Hard and Soft in our May cover story. “It’s not a character.

Billie Eilish wants to destigmatize how society treats women who are comfortable with talking about their sexuality. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the singer explained masturbation has helped her find “a love for my body that I have not really ever had.”
Speaking to the magazine’s senior music writer Angie Martoccio, Eilish said she talks about sex “any time I possibly can” to decompress, adding that it’s “literally my favorite topic.” She also commented about people being “weirded out” by women who are “very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it.”
“My experience as a woman has been that it’s seen in such a weird way,” said Eilish. “I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change. You asked me what I do to decompress? That shit can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more,...

In 2004, Rolling Stone launched its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. Tabulated from a massive vote that had artists, industry figures, and critics weighing in, the list has been a source of conversation, inspiration, and controversy for two decades. It’s one of the most popular, influential — and argued-over— features the magazine has ever done.
So we set out to make it even bigger, better, and fresher. In 2021, we completely overhauled our 500 Songs list, with a whole new batch of voters from all over the music map. Our new podcast,...

SXSW 2024 is in full swing, complete with a new next-to-impossible ticket. The Black Keys continued the promo run they began Thursday afternoon with a keynote Q&a with Rolling Stone‘s Angie Martoccio by heading to Mohawk, a downtown club whose capacity is just a shade smaller than the arenas and festival stages they normally play. Accordingly, many fans got turned away at the door when the fire-code capacity for the Keys’ set of blues covers was reached, well before their midnight start time. But there were tons of other...

Boygenius-mania was only the most visible sign of the fantastic year indie rock had in 2023, with strong albums from newcomers (Blondshell, Kara Jackson), established stars (Mitski) and veterans (Wilco, the National). In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, we go through some highlights of the year in indie albums.
Jon Dolan, Angie Martoccio, and Simon Vozick-Levinson join host Brian Hiatt for the discussion. Among many other topics, we touch on Mitski’s surprise hit “My Love Mine All Mine,” which our panelists agree isn’t even the...

In the Peter Jackson-directed video for the just-released “Now and Then” — touted as the “final Beatles song” — present-day Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are pleasantly haunted by the ghosts of John Lennon and George Harrison, and even their own younger selves. It’s hard not to think that life inside McCartney and Starr’s heads is a little bit like that on a daily basis, burdened as they are by the weight of history. And they may not be alone: “I walk the city at midnight/With the past strapped to my back,...

The 2004 album “1989” was a pivotal moment in Taylor Swift‘s career, making her a rare artist to transition from one genre to another full-time and enjoy even greater success than they’d achieved before. After she established herself as a country singer-songwriter, that was the moment she became a full-fledged pop star. Now she has released “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” the latest in her series of albums she has re-recorded in order to regain control of her music rights.
Several reviews came in the very day her new “1989” dropped on October 27, and the early consensus of critics has been overwhelmingly positive. Rachel Aroesti (The Guardian) writes that the album “provides a perfect excuse to revisit those monstrously accomplished tracks” and that it “also helps make sense of that decade in pop.” Angie Martoccio (Rolling Stone) adds that “now, in a post-rockist world, ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ shines a lot brighter.

Olivia Rodrigo paved her own way for her excellent, guitar-drenched second album, Guts. It’s impossible to imagine a major pop artist pushing this hard into rock if she hadn’t already opened the door with the hardest-hitting moments of her 2021 debut, Sour. (That said, she doesn’t see herself as a pop star, anyway.)
In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, Angie Martoccio, who wrote our revealing new cover story on Rodrigo, joins host Brian Hiatt to break down every track of Guts, from the biting sarcasm of the opening track,...

Olivia Rodrigo recently revealed how she’s gotten into ’80s new wave bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure, and now, she’s named a more current favorite in Rage Against the Machine.
In a new cover story with Rolling Stone, Rodrigo opened up about some of the influences for her excellent sophomore album, Guts. While speaking about the opening track, “All-American Bitch,” she credited two bands as inspiration: Babes in Toyland and Rage Against the Machine.
Rodrigo remembered sleeping with a turntable next to her bed at the age of 14 and being awoken by her mom putting on Babes in Toyland’s sophomore album, Fontanelle, which she would listen to while getting dressed. “Rock in that feminine way, that’s just the coolest thing in the world to me,” she said about the Kat Bjelland-led band.

When Rolling Stone broke the news back in January that Boygenius — Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker — had reunited and made their first full-length album, it felt like the first time in ages that young music fans were truly excited about a band. The album in question, The Record, more than lives up to expectations, with Rolling Stone‘s Rob Sheffield giving it an “instant classic” rating.

In the continual reordering of the popular-music canon, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: Joni Mitchell’s complex, emotive, cerebral, ever-evolving music is ranking higher than ever.
Her 1971 album Blue landed in the Top Three on Rolling Stone‘s most recent ranking of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and artists from Taylor Swift to Harry Styles to Mitski to Phoebe Bridgers have been dropping her name for years. And when Mitchell recently returned to the stage at the Newport Folk Festival for her first performance since a near-fatal 2015 aneurysm,...

In Season One, we explored classics like Taylor Swift’s Red,...
