The former One Directioner’s 2017 debut album has only gotten better with age, proven especially true in Styles’ fascinating first solo TV special, courtesy of the BBC and host-slash-BFF Nick Grimshaw. Candid and charming, Styles intersperses interview segments and colorful visits to his Manchester roots with the stuff he loves best: good vibes, great tunes, and even better suits.

Dirty Computer by Janelle Monáe

Three incredible singles and three unforgettable videos (most recently: the poppy, provocative “PYNK”) have solidified Monáe’s third studio album as one of 2018’s most anticipated new releases, bound to generate as much conversation about the genre-fluid artist as it will hours on the dance floor.

Westworld

After a 16-month hiatus, HBO’s mind-bending sci-fi drama (Sundays at 9 p.m.) returns for its eagerly-awaited second season, full of brand-new worlds and double the android-apocalypse mayhem. Here are three things EW’s James Hibberd learned about the upgraded lineup of episodes:

ALL THE THEME PARK'S "HOSTS" ARE IN FULL REBELLION!

After a debut season in which they were largely stuck in their programmed "loops," the bots are now free to make their own decisions—which means killing any stray human guests unwise enough to have chosen a sex-robot theme park for a vacation. As Thandie Newton, who plays Maeve, puts it: "They're creating Armageddon."

THE SHOW'S SCOPE EXPANDS—A LOT

Expect to see the outside world beyond the park for the first time, and the other Delos Inc. destinations as well (such as the feudal Japan-themed Shogun World, which inspires a standout episode midway through the season). "We're going to see a lot of territory we didn't see the first season," notes showrunner Lisa Joy. "Yet there's also a push into the interior lives of these characters."

DOLORES IS SHOCKINGLY BRUTAL NOW

The Western park's iconic prairie princess (Evan Rachel Wood) now remembers everything that's happened to her over 30 years of servitude—and is, understandably, rather peeved. "The way the writers have described it to me is 'Dolores is not good or bad—she's just right,' " says Wood. "She's just doing what needs to be done so she can be free."

Disobedience 

Credit: Bleecker Street

London-born Ronit (Rachel Weisz) fled her strict, ultra-Orthodox upbringing years ago for the bohemian freedom of New York. But when her father dies suddenly, she’s forced to confront her past — and the former lover (Rachel McAdams) she left behind. This English-language debut from Chilean director Sebastián Lelio (who just won a Best Foreign Film Oscar for his landmark trans drama A Fantastic Woman) treats a titillating subject with grace and sensitivity, and pulls lovely, nuanced performances from his two big stars.
