Plus, the man who made K-pop a global household name. by Marissa Lorusso and Lyndsey McKenna Josh Cheuse/Courtesy of the artist There’s something comforting about returning to favorite artists or albums years later. This week, we caught up with artists who continue to release exciting work long after their debuts. Morning Edition spoke to [AC/DC]( whose latest album, Power Up, is a tribute to the band's late co-founder, Malcolm Young, and an unlikely comeback from all kinds of loss. Guitarist Angus Young says Power Up is the kind of good rock and roll album we need in 2020: “Something you can tap along, sing along and take your mind away from what's around you.” And World Cafe shared an [interview with Alanis Morissette]( celebrating the 25th anniversary of her album Jagged Little Pill — and the musical based on its songs, which was nominated for 15 Tony awards — and diving into her most recent album, Such Pretty Forks in the Road.
