An unconventional masterpiece.

Representing the sum of all the label's split personalities--including the rousing microhouse of closer 'Good Times'--it should be listened to more as a celebratory catalogue than a seamless concept LP; a worthy precursor to next year's 'Twenty Years Of...'

It sees the Canadian doing what he does best--welding samples together obsessively, and wailing a lot over the top.

It's impossible to shake the notion that here is an album that might just prove to have longevity--to be a loved collection of stunningly written and presented pop songs.

And The Anonymous Nobody is still an impressive new installment in what has been a largely-unblemished career run.

Williams manages to retain the transportative element of his previous work while slightly neatening the edges.

With Little Dark Age, the group have perfected the balancing act between the two, and have delivered a project that should please fans on both sides.

Though it is far too early to start talking about this as one of their finest records, I have no doubt that 'Firepower' could slip through a wormhole in time to stand in the mighty presence of 'British Steel' and 'Screaming For Vengeance' and feel no shame.

It is an album that demands repeat listens, but this is fine, as with each listen we learn a little more of its secrets, but once they have been cracked Bon Voyage becomes something greater than its parts.

Say what you like about the album, it’s impossible to deny it is blazing with confidence and a witty, abrasive humour. What we loved about Slaves when they emerged into the DIY punk scene has returned into the mainstream, and about time too.

Meek Mill has definitely earned his place as the people’s champion, and in turn has provided his best album to date.

This is the Bollywood-tinged, swinging disco album you deserve.

‘What To Look For In Summer’ is an enchanting compendium of the bands live work and is an ideal accompaniment to spirit you away to those carefree summer days of enjoying live music.

Always Inside Your Head is often a frustrating album, peppered with sparks of genius and disappointing dead-ends. Ultimately, though, it’s another example of an artist constantly – restlessly, you might say – developing.

The rawness to his vocals add grit to a sound definitely polished, but not sanitised. ‘Some Nights I Dream of Doors’ may shed the crudity that helped build intrigue around Obongjayar, but there’s enough here to excite the faithfuls and attract new members to ‘OB Dream Corp’.

A revealing, continually powerful set of songs, ‘Here Is Everything’ is a fantastically engaging experience, arguably the strongest set The Big Moon have placed their name against.

‘Higher Than Heaven’ is a pitch perfect return. Following her excellent 00s channelling Calvin Harris link-up ‘Miracle’, Ellie Goulding is on her best form since those epochal blog era bops in the 2010s… and we are here for it.

It is an intriguing new chapter in the Villagers story that will reward listeners who spend some real time unwrapping it properly.

Able to speak her truth, ‘What A Relief’ is a valuable insight into a profound creative talent, and a gorgeous listen.

Closing the album out, it becomes clear that Moonchild Sanelly takes a more reflective approach to the project, one that is undoubtedly her strongest to date.

Witch Fever is a band with overwhelming promise. Even in ‘FEVEREATEN’s less cohesive moments, they show their potential to grow into their sound and harness every remnant of emotion.

‘Stardust’ is more fun than it is masterful.

‘Everyone’s A Star!’ never loses its sense of fun. The album feels like their debut record, but grown up, bolder, and fully in command of its sound.

CHVRCHES are a still a terrific alternative to the barrage of mind-numbing EDM and soulless euro trash of acts such as Icona Pop that permeate our airwaves and devour advertisements. Another heavenly and peerless collection from the Glaswegian synth-poppers.

It’s heartening to hear, after all these years, that time has not diminished the intensity of those performances.

His camp fire ramblings and angry rants soon become tiresome with much of Turner's fourth album feeling like material he has trod before.

III is a triumph that takes pop and redefines it, and may come to be seen as a watershed moment for the group as they hit full stride.

Not every track is as strong as ‘Black Skin Girls’. ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ showcases what Beyoncé can do at her best and most creative, yet consistency is an issue with this eclectic album.
