This electro-funk pop bop from the endlessly innovative musician is a sexy, summer-ready earworm (not to mention a possible game-changer for Monáe) that showcases the rising star’s epic Prince and Janet Jackson vibes.

Debut novelist Adeyemi draws from African folklore for her epic fantasy about a young woman avenging her mother’s death. Slyly political and astonishingly imaginative, this is a phenomenon in the making, literally: A movie is already in the works after a reported seven-figure deal.

Foxtrot

Samuel Maoz’s acclaimed drama (it swept the Israeli equivalent of the Oscars) seems at first like a straightforward portrait of parents grieving their young son. But where it goes from there makes for one of the most wildly original movie experiences in years.

Unmasked by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Unmasked by Andrew Lloyd Webe — Harper Collins

The musical theater titan behind The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Cats, and more goes behind the curtain in this candid new memoir, filled with fascinating tidbits that also serve as a reminder of one man’s singular impact on an entire art form.

Life Sentence

After seven seasons of threatening texts and black hoodies, Pretty Little Liars’ Lucy Hale was ready for something new. “A lot of the stuff that was coming my way was tonally the same,” Hale says of her post–PLL career. “I read [Life Sentence], and it was a no-brainer.” On the CW dramedy, Hale plays Stella, a 23-year-old who’s lived much of her life like she’s dying — because she was — until she finds out her cancer is cured. “It’s the best news they could’ve hoped for, but it turns the whole family’s world upside down,” Hale says. “They finally have to deal with the issues they’ve been repressing.” (The CW, Wednesdays, 9 p.m.)

Flint Town

Netflix’s eight-part docuseries goes inside the ongoing devastating water crisis in Flint, Mich., where cost-cutting measures led to drinking water being contaminated with lead and other toxins. Through ride-alongs and interviews with the city’s understaffed police department and parents, the series examines how the disaster began and, in doing so, questions how we view modern policing on a national level.
