Lloyd, Miley Cyrus, Black Kids and One Day As A Lion

- Lloyd "isn't your average R&B smoothie — he's much hornier," writes Rolling Stone. Billboard says the New Orleans R&B singer has "come a long way" on his new album, Lessons in Love, but The New York Times is disappointed: "Unlike its predecessor, which gave Lloyd’s tender alto room to breathe, much of the production here is gooey and distracting, too dense for Lloyd to make a dent in."
- Miley Cyrus sheds her Hannah Montana alter-ego on Breakout, an album that "finds the Disney Channel star returning to her factory setting of trying to please most of the people most of the time, without completely obscuring her own songwriting voice," according to The Boston Globe. "Though she's only 15, Miley's voice is rich and expressive as she dumps the same guy a dozen songs in a row," deadpans The Village Voice.
- Rage Against The Machine vocalist Zach De La Rocha teams up with ex-Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore to form One Day As A Lion. The duo's self-titled EP is a "five-tracker with bite, with venom; it’s a reminder that while de la Rocha might age like the rest of us, the fires in his belly haven’t come close to being doused by mundane revivals of his most famous group’s mosh-happy hits," gushes Drowned in Sound. Webzine Stereogum notes that it "falls squarely within the realm de la expectation: still that ratatating delivery, still those allusions to class struggles, politics, and religion, etc."
- Florida indie dance combo The Black Kids release their debut, Partie Traumatic, "the type of record that claims not even the Apocalypse can stop the party," according Slant magazine. "[T]eenage yearning couldn’t hope for a much better vehicle than their pouting power pop," proclaims The Phoenix. "Flanked by his sister and friends, Reggie Youngblood sings catchy tunes about dancing and desire with a yelp that suggests … the Cure's goth godfather Robert Smith," observes Spin magazine.
