This last scene in the June 2007 finale of "The Sopranos" featured almost the entirety of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." For such a massive hit, “Don’t Stop Believin’” is sort of a curious tune. A scene from the pilot episode of "Glee," where the singers did an a capella version of "Don't Stop Believin'." ‘Don’t stop believing, Jon.’”Over the past 15 years “Don’t Stop Believin’” has become a karaoke staple and a sing-along favorite. What I wrote in that review wasn’t fairIs “Don’t Stop Believin’” a good song?

A FEW YEARS into the existence of his Los Angeles fashion brand, Fear of God, designer Jerry Lorenzo screenprinted the nascent label’s name on vintage rock tees from a raucous roster of headbanging bands—Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe. But when he’s working at his spartan office in downtown Los Angeles, Lorenzo throws on “easy listening, soft-rock vibes,” like soulful singer Anita Baker and even the elevator-music godfather Kenny G.

In the years since Witch first made an impact, younger musicians have been paying attention. Sampa the Great, a 29-year-old Zambian rapper with international reach, said she connected “to the defiance and the edginess” of Witch’s music. “To have traditional music and infuse it with rock, that’s what I do with hip-hop,” she added. She collaborated with Witch on a track from her 2022 album “As Above, So Below” and appears on one of the band’s new songs. “We have the original gear from those records and the same sound engineer,” said Jacco Gardner, the band’s current bassist, who hails from the Netherlands.
