The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory
Guillory’s debut novel is a swoony rom-com brimming with humor and charm. After a meet-cute in an elevator, Alexa becomes Drew’s date to his ex’s wedding—and what ensues is a consuming romance on a collision course toward happily-ever-after, with all the bumps and bruises of real life.

Atlanta Monster
An early contender for the true-crime podcast of 2018, Atlanta Monster reexamines the disappearance and murders of more than 25 African-American children and young adults during the late ’70s and early ’80s. Creator Payne Lindsey (of 2016’s missing-person podcast Up and Vanished) interviews law enforcement officials, family members, and newscasters to illuminate both the young victims and the city’s vast racial divide.

The Wife by Alafair Burke
The latest from lawyer–turned–bestselling novelist Burke (The Ex) is as freshly topical as a #MeToo hashtag, but it unfolds with the slow-burn thrill of pure fiction: When a liberal Manhattan media figure is accused of sexual misconduct, should his young wife stand by her man? The answer is a genuine shocker, sneaky and smart.

"Dancing" by Kylie Minogue
Who says you have to choose between cowboy boots and dancing shoes? On the lead single from her 14th studio album, Golden (out April 6), Minogue blends euphoric electronica and booming country to great effect—and her dance-floor invitation is both uplifting and irresistible.

"Lottery by Jade Bird
“It just formed out of the sky,” Bird, 20, says of her experience penning “Lottery,” the sunny, soulful new jam and lead single off her debut album, expected later this year. “I literally played the two chords that start the song and the rest came straight to me. I was like, ‘Hold on a minute!’ ” The U.K. upstart, who counts Alanis Morissette and Patti Smith as heroes, says she felt called to put forward the upbeat cut as a single immediately. “It’s ironic, because it does sort of feel like the end of the world sometimes, but I’m feeling a lot more optimistic [now]. You need positivity to beat back that bad. I’m young and I’m excited about life—I wanted to get that across.”
