Best NYC concerts in March 2020

Nathy Peluso comes from a new generation of Latin artists blending Latin pop, altnernative, raggaeton and RnB with a whole lotta attitude to create a movement that's being noticed globally (most forecefully by way of Rosalia). To celebrate the release of her second studio album, Grasa, the Argentine-Spanish pop sensation is performing at Brooklyn Paramount on March 8.

Even when she was touring as part of BLACKPINK, Jennie was already a stand out artist. Now, like the other members of the K-Pop group, she's ready to go at it alone. Just three days after her debut solo album Ruby comes out on March 7 (March 10), Jennie will perform at Radio City Music Hall to what's sure to be a sold out show, so make sure to get your tickets sooner and not later. If any of her recently dropped singles are any indication—I still can't stop thinking about her bold collaboration with Doechii on "ExtraL"—this album is going to be one for the books.

Ever since alt sensation Jorja Smith dropped her debut album Lost & Found in 2018, she's shaped a new generation of British RnB musicians redefining the genre. Her last album, blended soul, RnB and house music to create a uniquely danceable album. Catch her at Brooklyn Paramount on Monday, March 10, or Tuesday, March 11.

Mumford & Sons, the British folk rock band that first landed on the scene back in 2007, announced that their first new album in seven years, Rushmere, will officially be released on March 28.

Ahead of the drop, the band will play a nine-date intimate theater tour across the U.K., Europe, Australia and North America that will conclude at the Brooklyn Paramount on March 26. The presale for the band's official fan community, called Agora, will kick off this Thursday at 10am right here. General public on sale, on the other hand, will open the day after, on February 14, at 10am EST.

The 50 best uses of songs in movies
Colloquially, it used to be called the "needle drop"—when a Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino picked a piece of preexisting music and laid it down under a dramatic scene, with seismic results. We've thumbed through our stacks of wax (i.e., Blu-ray collections) to collect cinema's most potent examples, allowing for iconic uses of classical music and jazz along with the expected pop hits. One parameter, though: no songs composed for the movie itself. (Sorry, Simple Minds.) The result is our most toe-tapping list to date. But do let us know if we've left out your favorite jam.
