French alternative pop artist Janis is embracing a new chapter. Once known as the teen sensation Sliimy in the late 2000s, she's evolved into a soul-inflected artist who draws deeply from her lived experience as a trans woman. Her forthcoming album, 'Cry With Us,' marks this artistic transformation.

The week also brings new music from French icon Mylène Farmer and British rock band Muse.
