  5. James Blake and his ever-changing moods

    British singer-songwriter James Blake started out making beautiful, disembodied, dubstep-inclined sound collages in his bedroom. In 2011 he released his self-titled, full-length debut, and, armed with a much-downloaded hit (an underwater-sounding cover of Feist's &ldquo;Limit to Your Love&rdquo;) and the usual assortment of accolades (a Mercury Prize nomination, a Bon Iver collaboration, an approving shoutout from Kanye West), he went out into the world. He sold a decent amount of records, fell in love for the first time and settled in to make &ldquo;Overgrown,&rdquo; his high-stakes second album.

  6. Coachella 2013: Down deep in the dance grooves

    The heaviest place to be at Coachella 2013, from a sound perspective, wasn't in the sweet spot of the Main Stage rig while Phoenix was preparing for the arrival of R. Kelly, or at the heart of the Sahara stage during Baauer's big, dumb, joyous set of beat music, heavy on the synth riffs and dirty beats.

  7. Coachella 2013 feels something like a British re-invasion

    Ten minutes into his band's performance Friday night at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, singer Damon Albarn of Blur realized he hadn't introduced himself. So after a hard-driving rendition of Blur's song "There's No Other Way," the frontman took a second to address the tens of thousands of music fans sprawled across the manicured grounds of the Empire Polo Club.

  9. Coachella 2013: Soulful devotion to new sounds

    Even before the release of her debut album, the English singer Jessie Ware was attracting next-big-thing buzz with appearances on tracks by cutting-edge dance-music artists such as SBTRKT and Joker. But she wasn't born hip.
