Editors' Choice for June, 2025

AllMusic Staff Picks
AllMusic Staff Pick – July 6, 2025

"Power and the Passion" is that rare dance single that asks you to chant "Better to die on your feet than live on your knees," "Only the Strong" and "Read About It" are smart as they are hard hitting, and "Short Memory"'s slow simmering outrage is masterful.
