The Boss is back with impassioned 20th album BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN –

There is also new music from Major Lazer and Gorillaz

SINCE releasing his autobiography in 2016, Bruce Springsteen has been on a creative hot streak to rival any period in his 40-plus years at the top. There has been a one-man Broadway show, a first cinematic directing credit and even a lockdown-inspired turn as a radio DJ.

Until now he has been holding back two pocket aces, career-long companions the E Street Band and his trademark brand of impassioned rock’n’roll.

LetterToYou welcomes both back in emphatic fashion, with the Boss’s old compadres back on deck to deliver a series of stadium-sized performances captured live in the studio in just five days.

Most surprising, and most rewarding, are three “lost” epics from his early 70s playbook, dusted off, polished up and finally rescued from the bootleg pile.

The best of them, the poetic IfIWas ThePriest, might have been the song that made him a star had he set it free first time around.

THE CRAFT: LEGACY (15, 94 mins)

Almost 25 years after the release of Andrew Fleming’s teen supernatural horror TheCraft, Zoe Lister-Jones writes and directs a standalone sequel, which hopes to deliver plentiful tricks and treats in time for Halloween.

Lily (Cailee Spaeny) moves with her mother Eunice (Michelle Monaghan) to a new town and struggles to fit in at school.

Three classmates, Frankie (Gideon Adlon), Lourdes (Zoey Luna) and Tabby (Lovie Simone), show her immense kindness and perform a ritual that confirms Lily as the fourth member of their secret coven of teenage witches.

Lily develops extraordinary powers, which she can bind with other members of the coven to exact revenge on school bullies.

Every action has a consequence and Lily, Frankie, Lourdes and Tabby are unprepared for the true cost of their spellcasting.
