It's taken three years from Brittney Spencer's attention-grabbing Compassion EP to her much-anticipated debut album, with a handful of singles and EPs between. And now that My Stupid Life is here, she's already transcended the "next big thing" label; Spencer is a star who just hasn't held the spotlight on her own yet. She's part of the supergroup Highwomen family, has opened for artists like Jason Isbell, and made a big impression at the 2021 CMAS performing with Mickey Guyton and Madeline Edwards. "I'm doing something that is probably already going in the history books," Spencer recently told Rolling Stone of being a Black female artist in country music, "and not because it's me and my song, but because I'm part of something."

Stevie Wonder is a soul music giant, a beloved American icon, and an indisputable genius of popular music. The musician's heightened awareness of sound – a consequence of his blindness – has helped him create vibrant music teeming with joyous positivity, even when he's written about heartbreak and addressed issues of race, spirituality, and society in general. Wonder's recordings are a richly eclectic and singular brew of soul, funk, rock & roll, Broadway/Tin Pan Alley-style pop, jazz, reggae, and African elements. Combined with his elastic voice, peerless melodic facility, gift for complex arrangements, and taste for lovely ballads, his broad appeal over the decades has been unmatched.

Linkin Park Rooted at the crossroads of aggressive metal and beat-driven hip-hop, Linkin Park became one of the most successful acts of the early 21st century by incorporating elements from across genres, injecting hardcore rap, raucous punk, atmospheric electronic, and even polished pop stylings into their music.

Indeed, as their original band name and debut album title suggested, they were a hybrid of forces, relying as much on the vocal interplay between singer Chester Bennington and rapper Mike Shinoda as on the band's muscled instrumentation, which layered DJ Hahn's effects atop heavy, processed guitars and pounding percussion. No matter their direction, pain and catharsis remained at their core.
