Dua Lipa is best known for last summer’s infectious breakout single “New Rules.” The song has thus far spent 43 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, is a bona fide earworm, and is, frankly, solid relationship advice. Ignoring drunk phone calls from exes is always a good idea and one that so many of us fail to remember.

Here are ten songs to dance to even if you can’t dance.
At home in the Bronx, the legendary pianist, bandleader, and composer Eddie Palmieri rewinds to childhood.

Now that’s commitment.
The subjects of Jose Boyer’s lyrics tend to emerge of their own volition while he’s working on a guitar or piano part.
Residual rain from Subtropical Storm Alberto likely derailed or altered your Memorial Day weekend plans, but you have a new week ahead full of concerts to make up for the fun you missed.

L.A.-based rockers make music with very little wasted motion, instrumentally or lyrically — they get to the point.
“Having a beach in your backyard” is what novelist and New Times contributor David Rolland loved most about growing up on Key Biscayne in the ’80s and ’90s.
