It’s almost absurd how much good music — universally acclaimed, big-ticket, year-end contender music — came out in 2022’s first five months. It’s hard to imagine the next seven matching that pace.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Margo Price served up a mellow version of the sexually graphic Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion hit “WAP” on The Daily Show last night (Aug. 14.)
