Evolution (Journey album)
"Evolution" is an album by a famous American rock band called Journey. It came out in 1979. This album is special because it has a new drummer named Steve Smith for the first time. It did very well and was popular among many people, selling lots of copies in the United States.
One of the songs from the album called "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" became very popular. It was similar to an older song by Sam Cooke. Another song, "Just the Same Way," was sung by two people: Gregg Rolie, who used to be the main singer, and Steve Perry.
People who listen to music and talk about it for work said different things about the album. Some really liked the songs, especially the guitar parts. But one newspaper thought the album was too much like the band's older music.
The album had several people working on it, like Roy Thomas Baker who helped make it, and Geoff Workman who did technical work. The album cover was designed by some artists and photographers, who also took pictures for the inside of the album.
The album did well on music charts and even got special awards for selling so many copies.
The American singer Willow has a new music album called "Coping Mechanism". People can listen to it now! Before the album came out, Willow shared some songs one by one. These songs were "Maybe It's My Fault", "Hover Like a Goddess", "Curious/Furious", and "Split". Each song had a special video too.
The first song, "Maybe It's My Fault", came out in June 2022. After that, "Hover Like a Goddess" was shared in August. Right after, Willow told everyone that "Coping Mechanism" would come in October. Then, two more songs came out before the album did.
"Coping Mechanism" has many different music styles. It has pop punk, emo, and rock music. It also has a little bit of metal, gothic rock, and some R&B.
People really like this album. A website that tells us if music is good or not gave the album 82 out of 100 points. This means that almost everyone thinks it's great. Two music writers said very nice things about the album. They said Willow is good at making music that people enjoy right now.
