How did West find about his new leader? “I was at my doctor’s office when my team called about ‘What If’ hitting No. 1,” he tells Billboard. “And, like most celebrations in the past 20 months or so, it was virtual … with my doctor awkwardly waiting to resume my eye exam. “I’m so thankful to all of the radio stations around the country and their listeners who continue to let my music be part of their lives.

Lindsey Jordan’s second album as Snail Mail is for anyone who’s been bloodied by Cupid’s arrow.

Throughout, Jordan adheres to the credo that she first announced as a rhetorical question—“Is there any better feeling than coming clean?”—on Lush, the searing debut that turned her from a suburban teenager with wicked guitar chops into a beloved indie frontwoman. Jordan, now 22, says she fielded 15 different label offers while she was still in high scho...
