The 706 Digest: April 2026

April brought rock rave-ups, intriguing duets, and returns from Madonna, Reba, Olivia, The Strokes, the two living Beatles...and Hannah Montana.

New Album Review: Bruno Mars- The Romantic

The pop superstar's first solo outing in a decade dances, romances, and entertains across a lush soul spectrum.

Our annual list concludes with career highs from Tyler Childers, Amanda Shires, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Sam Fender & more.

Blockbuster pop moments, devastating Americana reflections, roots rock anthems, Alt battle-cries, and should've-been country smashes.

Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, MGK, and Rob Thomas deliver pop bop goodness, while Brandi Carlile reaches a new career high.

Lady Gaga's first proper LP in 5 years emphatically secures her relevance and her legacy.
