The snowbanks are shrinking, the lakes are loosening, and there\u2019s that sense that everything is just about to wake up. It\u2019s the kind of in-between moment that calls for a soundtrack with a bit of edge, a bit of reflection, and a lot of forward motion. This week\u2019s New Music Monday lineup leans into that feeling, with a mix of veteran voices and familiar names returning with something new to say.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Here are five tracks worth your time this week:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">The Black Crowes \u2013 &#8220;Cruel Streak&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cruel Streak\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jx9VZ7VGZYw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">There\u2019s a certain swagger you expect from The Black Crowes, and &#8220;Cruel Streak&#8221; delivers it without feeling like a throwback for the sake of nostalgia. Built on a greasy, blues-rock groove, the track leans into the band\u2019s roots while still sounding sharp and present. Chris Robinson\u2019s vocal has that familiar mix of grit and looseness, riding over a riff that feels like it could stretch out for ten minutes on stage. It\u2019s a reminder that when this band locks into a groove, few do it better, and it fits perfectly with that restless, in-between energy of the season.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Black Label Society \u2013 &#8220;Ozzy\u2019s Song&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Black Label Society - Ozzy&#039;s Song (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hZ1HKpu_BFk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Zakk Wylde has never been shy about wearing his influences on his sleeve, and &#8220;Ozzy\u2019s Song&#8221; is exactly what it sounds like, a heavy, heartfelt nod to his long history with Ozzy Osbourne. The track blends thick, chugging guitars with a surprisingly reflective tone, balancing muscle with melody. There\u2019s a sense of respect running through it, but it never loses that signature Black Label weight. It\u2019s the kind of song that feels built for both late-night listens and full-volume drives.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">U2 \u2013 &#8220;In a Life&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"U2 - In A Life\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/43N4LnDj9_M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">U2 continues to evolve, and &#8220;In a Life&#8221; finds the band leaning into a more restrained, atmospheric sound. The track builds slowly, layering guitar textures and understated rhythm while Bono delivers a reflective, almost conversational vocal. It\u2019s less about stadium-sized hooks and more about mood and space, showing a band that\u2019s still willing to pull things back and explore quieter territory. There\u2019s a sense of looking backward and forward at the same time, which gives the song a quiet weight.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Everlast \u2013 &#8220;Stones&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Everlast - &quot;Stones&quot; (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IErAjT1BtCs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Everlast has always had a way of blending genres without forcing it, and &#8220;Stones&#8221; continues that approach. There\u2019s a stripped-down, almost dusty feel to the track, built around acoustic elements and a steady, head-nodding rhythm. His vocal delivery carries that lived-in quality, somewhere between a rap cadence and a blues storyteller. Lyrically, it leans into themes of resilience and consequence, making it one of those songs that settles in more the longer you sit with it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Sublime \u2013 &#8220;Until the Sun Explodes&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sublime - Until The Sun Explodes (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9WhguJtzWuI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Sublime\u2019s legacy has always been tied to that laid-back, sun-soaked California sound, and &#8220;Until the Sun Explodes&#8221; taps into that spirit while pushing it forward. The track blends reggae rhythms, punk energy, and a modern polish that keeps it from feeling stuck in the past. It\u2019s bright, a little chaotic, and built for warmer days that are just starting to feel within reach. There\u2019s a sense of release in it, like the first real stretch of good weather after a long winter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">As the season starts to turn and the days stretch out just a little longer, these tracks offer a solid mix of reflection and momentum.
