Releases of the week

Funk rock releases, week 38

· 12 releases

This week in funk rock, notable releases and milestones include Slauson Malone 1's reinterpretation of a Red Hot Chili Peppers classic, the continued legacy of Talking Heads celebrated through the 49th anniversary of 'Talking Heads: 77' and the 40th anniversary of 'True Stories', and the ongoing cultural resonance of tracks like Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa’s 'Payphone'. Other highlights include new performances and announcements from artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Nickelback, and Ween, whose 35-year-old album 'The Pod' remains a point of reflection. The genre's cross-pollination with jazz and post-jazz elements is also evident in the work of Stick Men and The Next Movement. Meanwhile, live events and festival line-ups continue to expand with additions like HotWax, Scorcher, Suggz, and A Certain Ratio.
