AllMusic New Releases Roundup 8/12/14: Gaslight Anthem, Sinead O'Connor, Kris Allen

New Music Releases: Gaslight Anthem, Sinead O'Connor, and Kris Allen

In this week's New Releases Roundup, we highlight the latest from New Jersey's Gaslight Anthem, revisit our muckraking friend Sinead O'Connor, and check in on American Idol Winner Kris Allen.

In this week's New Releases Roundup a trio of artists up their game. Whether you're up for punk rock or pop stardom, we've got three picks to get you through the week.

New Jersey's most mature punks, the Gaslight Anthem, tee off with their latest, Get Hurt. The band's fascination with rock icons like Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and the Clash continue to shine through on their fifth album, which they recorded in Nashville.

Sinead O'Connor has been making headlines for everything except her music the past few years, but now she's getting back to her profession with I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss. It's the Irish singer-songwriter's tenth album, and it's produced by her ex-husband, John Reynolds, who also helmed her 1987 debut.
