It's been a good 20 years since the name Juliana Hatfield was unavoidable in grunge-pop circles. The singer and multi-instrumentalist first burst onto the scene with Blake Babies and played with the Lemonheads on the legendary It's a Shame About Ray before forming the Juliana Hatfield Three. The rest was honey-voiced '90s alt-rock history, complete with SPIN magazine covers and a song on the Reality Bites soundtrack. In 2014, after a two decadelong hiatus, Hatfield got the band back together. Whatever, My Love, released in February, showcases the gifted songwriter in perhaps her most self-assured state yet; she's a rare bird, truly — still a music industry darling, but never without a bite. Bust out some flannel and make a night of it.
