Music Review: The Black Keys' 'No Rain, No Flowers' puts a feel-good spin on a turbulent year
NEW YORK — The Ohio alt-rock band the Black Keys are finding their way home on their 13th full-length LP, 'No Rain, No Flowers.' Music Review: The Black Keys' 'No Rain, No Flowers' puts a feel-good spin on a turbulent year The journey hasn't been easy. Last year, the Grammy-winning duo underwent a fiery, public split with their management after their arena tour was unceremoniously canceled. But on 'No Rain, No Flowers,' guitarist and vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Pat Carney put a feel-good spin on their recent career turbulence. The album pulls the raw blues, psychedelia, garage rock and roots music of their 23-year discography into a single package. Discerning fans won't have to look hard for nods to their rough 2024. The opening track begins with a synthesizer-infused post-punk riff that leaves a sense of both inner peace and simmering resentment. After warning 'There's evil people in this world / Live long enough and you will be burned,' Auerbach's easygoing voice assures that 'Baby, the damage is done / It won't be long 'til we're back in the sun.' Their fourth album in five years marks a return to the prolific pace they maintained early on in their career. Underdogs no more, the critically acclaimed duo's tenure shows itself on this album, in a mix of trusted creative partners and long-admired new collaborators. And perhaps truer to their name, this iteration of the Black Keys includes a lot more piano. The band says they've never worked with someone who writes on the piano like Rick Nowels, who appeared on Lana Del Rey 's Auerbach-produced album 'Ultraviolence.' Hip-hop producer Scott Storch plays keyboard on the groovy 'Babygirl,' which is part-power pop, part-Rolling Stones with its sharp rhythmic piano and lyrical self-assertiveness. He's also on 'Make You Mine,' where Auerbach's upper register and a string section push the band as close to Bee Gees' disco as they'll get. But they're at their best with moody, trance-inducing tracks like 'Down to Nothing,' where Auerbach's guitar elicits the feeling of yearning that's remained a constant throughout their catalog. The album leaves listeners with the twangy tones and folksier sounds of Nashville — where many of its contributors work and where Auerbach launched his Easy Eye Sound record label eight years ago. Music City songwriter Pat McLaughlin brings the same Americana sound of Auerbach's 2017 solo album to the penultimate track 'A Little Too High,' an upbeat stomper that evokes The Eagles. Electronic backing vocals imbue the closer, 'Neon Moon,' with the same supernatural undercurrent as Kacey Musgraves' 2018 'Golden Hour' — both of which credit songwriter Daniel Tashian. Its natural imagery, however, is less complex. 'You can find it in the southern sky,' Auerbach sings, 'By the light of the neon moon.' 'Take me home / Back to you,' the chorus repeats. 'Take me home / Neon moon.' The Black Keys aren't quite home with this one. But they're certainly following the light.

Justin Timberlake "pushed through for months" before Lyme disease diagnosis, wife Jessica Biel is "incredibly supportive"
Justin Timberlake "pushed through for months" before Lyme disease diagnosis, wife Jessica Biel is "incredibly supportive" Singer and actor Justin Timberlake has been getting plenty of support after opening up about his health this week, and his wife Jessica Biel has been by his side for it all, reported People. After the 10-time Grammy winner announced his Lyme disease diagnosis on social media on Thursday, July 31, a family source informed that the news has brought Timberlake "clarity" and that Biel has been "incredibly supportive" of him during this time. Timberlake initially believed the fatigue and pain he had been experiencing on the road were just part of getting older and being back on tour, the insider said, as per the outlet. He recently concluded his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour, an international run in support of his 2024 studio album, Everything I Thought It Was. "He's not 20 anymore. But when his symptoms worsened, he realised something deeper was going on," the source said. "He pushed through for months before finally getting answers. The Lyme disease diagnosis brought clarity to a series of unexplained issues that he's been quietly dealing with." Biel "felt like something was off" with her husband's health and "encouraged him to get checked out," the source added. "She could tell that he wasn't himself. She's incredibly supportive." Timberlake announced his diagnosis in an Instagram post, informing fans that he wanted to "shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes," reported People. "If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has, then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically," Timberlake wrote, adding that he was "shocked for sure" to receive the diagnosis, as per the outlet. "But at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness," he added. As the insider now explained, Timberlake's focus remains on his treatment and recovery following the conclusion of his tour. "He's taking it seriously. The plan is to rest, spend time with Jess and the kids and do everything he can to heal," the family source said of the couple, who are parents to sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 5. "He loved touring and being back onstage, but he's also relieved it's over. Now he can focus on his health," reported People. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Lyme disease is transmitted from the bite of an infected tick and can initially lead to flu-like symptoms, including headaches, joint pain, fatigue or fever. It is often diagnosed by a rash around the tick bite and can later lead to symptoms such as facial paralysis, brain fog, numbness, swollen joints or nerve damage. Timberlake previously cancelled or postponed shows on his tour due to an ongoing back injury, bronchitis and laryngitis, and an ankle injury. "I was reluctant to talk about this because I was always raised to keep something like this to yourself," Timberlake said in his Instagram post this week. "But I am trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted," he continued. "Sharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected. I'd like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease too," reported People.
