The artist that everyone will probably have their eye on this week is
Lana Del Rey. Breaking big as an "internet phenomenon," she's the type of act that should be heralding a new way forward for the music industry. But after a disastrous performance on
SNL, the internet has turned against her, proving that signing an untested act to a major label deal might not be the best investment for the music biz. Luckily, we don't have to depend on Del Rey for a good week in music. Time-tested artists like
Metallica,
Leonard Cohen, and even
Ringo Starr have new records this week. And before we declare music dead forever, up-and-comers like
Asteroids Galaxy Tour and
Escort give us hope for the future.
