The Chicago rapper Juice WRLD's new album Deathrace for Love is on our list of the best albums out on March 8.

Juice WRLD, the reigning prince of emo rap, is back with a follow up to last year's Goodbye & Good Riddance. Deathrace for Love is bleak, brutal and the rare sequel that lives up to the original. The Oxford rock band Foals takes a big swing in one of the group's most ambitious albums to date; and singer Patty Griffin has a beautiful and profoundly moving, new self-titled album on growing old, the frailty of life and perseverance. On this week's New Music Friday host Robin Hilton talks about those albums and more with NPR's Rodney Carmichael, Felix Contreras and Stephen Thompson.

  • Foals: Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Pt. 1
    Featured Songs: "White Onions" and "I'm Done With the World (And It's Done With Me)"
