New Albums: 'La La Land' soundtrack, The Notwist, Brian Eno
You can't have a visually arresting modern movie musical without an aurally dazzling set of songs. So for every fantastical bit of film energy from La La Land writer-director Damien Chazelle, there's an equally rousing tune to go with it from the flick's composer, Justin Hurwitz, with lyrics from musical theater's hottest team: Justin Paul and Philadelphia's Benj Pasek.
