Live Laugh Love is like a happier version of Some Rap Songs.

Review of ‘Hyperyouth’ by Joey Valance & Brae

Hyperyouth is a party album for the generation that missed the party.

Review of 'Never Enough' by Turnstile

The Baltimore band are back with more jagged riffs, anthemic vocals and perhaps a few too many ambient interludes.

Double Review: 'Eusexua' by FKA Twigs and 'Fancy That' by PinkPantheress

Two albums by two UK female pop stars: Eusexua is an exciting return to Twigs’ experimental side, whereas Fancy That is a fun-but-fleeting barrage of retro club bangers.

Squid deliver more squirming art rock tunes – this time with more grisly subject matter.

Triple Album Review: ‘Dark Times’ by Vince Staples, ‘King of The Mischievous South vol 2’ by Denzel Curry & ‘I Lay Down My Life For You’ by JPEGMAFIA

Review of ‘Empathogen’ by Willow

 

Willow branches out further from her pop roots, trading pop punk for prog jazz.

Review of ‘Cowboy Carter’ by Beyonce

Cowboy Carter stretches the definition of ‘country’. Which is no bad thing, as I’m not the biggest country fan.

Review of ‘Half Divorced’ by Pissed Jeans

Pennsylvania punks Pissed Jeans deliver a selection of songs that are as hilariously grim as their band name.

Review of 'Blue Lips' by Schoolboy Q

Despite pushing 40, Q still has incredible energy to give, and arguably the best ear for beats in the game.

Idles swap angry punky protest songs for mellow experimental love songs.
