Music Shopping List: Beauty and the Beast Leads the Charge

The original motion picture soundtrack for the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast leads the charge of new music releases this week.

Rock singer/songwriter Ryan Adams assembles a fantastic heartbroken, post-divorce gem on his latest LP, ‘Prisoner.’

British musician Sampha delivers an authentic, emotional tour de force on his highly anticipated debut album, ‘Process.’

Outlaw country standout Brantley Gilbert packs a mean punch on his fourth album, ‘The Devil Don’t Sleep.’

“Do You Still Love Me?” doesn’t give rock singer/songwriter veteran Ryan Adams a game changer, but does find Adams at his best.

John Legend delivers another captivating solo album with Darkness and Light. While his sound is tweaked, fundamentally he remains the same artist.

Pop-rock singer-songwriter & beastly guitarist John Mayer returns with “Love on the Weekend,” a lovely single but no means the second coming.

John Legend may not earn another no. 1 hit with single “I Know Better,” but he keeps traditional R&B on the ‘up and up.’
