In this week's slate of Rolling Stone reviews, Jon Dolan praises "Miracle Worker," the genre-smashing first single from Mick Jagger's new supergroup Superheavy, noting that it's "a summertime single built for every beach." Also, Monica Herrera is lukewarm on "Headlines," the first single from Drake's Take Care, which suffers from a slight hook and a beat that never takes off, and Evan Serpick pans the limp, Lex Luger-free new album from Southern rap titans Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame.

Song Stories

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
