From Now to the Next Day and beyond, Celebified's
new releases roundup has the scoop on this
week's newest albums!
David Bowie is back from unofficial retirement
with his first album of new material in a
decade. The Next Day pairs the Thin White
Duke with Tony Visconti, the producer behind
many of his classic ‘70s albums, and evokes
a moody elegance that reminds us why we’ve
missed him. New Jersey’s finest, Bon Jovi,
follow up 2009’s The Circle with their 12th
studio album, What About Now. Like their other
recent albums, What About Now shows Bon Jovi’s
more serious side, pondering the state of
the union in 2013, and taking musical cues
from new wave and even college rock. On
the indie side of the dial, freak folk troubadour
Devendra Banhart makes his Nonesuch Records
debut with Mala. With more focus and stronger
songwriting than his last few albums, Mala
is a rewarding listen that takes us back to
Banhart’s effortlessly sublime early days. For
