It was, however, what a British man was branded for faking his drowning death in an insurance scam. The nickname Canoe Man has a friendly ring to it. It boasts the slinky “Experience,” the Peter Gabriel-ish ballad “Maybe” and the electronic-bouncy “There’s No Telling,” which includes a nod to his theatrical roots in the lyric, “Don’t cry for me, Argentina.” The “Barely Breathing” songwriter has made a second name for himself on the stage, including the Broadway shows “Spring Awakening” and “American Psycho” as well as the new “NOIR.” “Claptrap” is the singer-songwriter’s ninth studio album and first in seven years. Duncan Sheik returns with a clutch of his own music on Friday after working on theater musicals for a while. One highlight is the Free-sounding “Good and Gone” with the opening line “Look out your window baby, here come your man/Looking suspicious with that gun in his hand.” “Young Blood” follows King’s Grammy-nominated album “El Dorado,” and features the bluesy, rocking “Blood on the Tracks.” Born into a musical family, King’s musical gifts earned him a following as a teenager and the album is soaked in ’70 rock ’n’ roll. Marcus King and his blistering guitar skills have once again teamed up with Black Keys frontman and Grammy-winning producer Dan Auerbach to create the album “Young Blood,” out Friday. If that’s not enough to entice you, earlier in August he confirmed that Jay-Z would also feature on the record. “They don’t believe in us, Future did, Lil Baby did,” Khaled wrote. Khaled also confirmed that Future would be featured on the record two times, and in a third post shouted out his two rap peers for “believing” in him. Another apparent combo on the Friday release is a song with Future and Lil Baby, at least according to an Instagram post. His new album “God Did” is his 13th full-length set and he’s teased it with the banger “Staying Alive” alongside frequent collaborators Drake and Lil Baby. If 13 is an unlucky number, don’t tell DJ Khaled. In “Me Time,” Kevin Hart plays a stay-at home father whose wife (Regina Hall) and kids go away for the weekend, allowing him to reconnect with an old friend (Mark Wahlberg). Daniel Zolghardri stars as a teenage cartoonist who shirks his posh family life in Princeton, New Jersey, to live alone in Trenton and try to make it as an R. And the film - a grungy coming-of-age tale that channels a low-budget ’90s indie spirit - is one of the year’s standout debuts. But after “Uncut Gems” filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie signed on as producers, A24 picked up the film and it premiered earlier this year in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival. Owen Kline (son of Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates) struggled to find attention for his directorial debut. “Funny Pages,” which opens Friday in theaters and on video-on-demand, represents an even more winding path to release. The film, which premieres Friday on Amazon Prime Video, was made by MGM but has seen its release delayed numerous times over the past two years before landing exclusively on the streaming platform. (OK, and some human growth hormone.) But in “Samaritan,” the 76-year-old Stallone stars as aged superhero with superhuman strength living anonymously as a garbage collector. As an action star, Sylvester Stallone’s most iconic characters - Rocky Balboa, Rambo - have always relied on plain old brawn for his powers. Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.
