Even with few truly catchy numbers and a cumbersome plot, Mary Poppins Returns has enough bright-eyed optimism to almost escape the shadow of the toe-tapping original.

    Progressive rock titan Neal Morse releases a new album with his band in January, but you can get a preview now. The year in song reflected the state of the world around us. Here are the 60 songs that spoke to us this year. Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk is a thought-provoking tale of both love and injustice, and in working with Moonlight composer Nicholas Brittell, the two find compelling musical motifs from unexpected places.
