Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails have been called into help with the production, as well as some film score composers, on the fourth album by Halsey. The American singer-songwriter and general artistic polymath deals in powerful, emotive pop with driving guitar riffs and big walls of scuzzy sound. They are always evolving and innovating within that framework and this record comes on the heels of their US Billboard No.1 LP 'Manic'. Away from music, Halsey recently introduced a multi-dimensional makeup line for made for everyone and uses her voice to speak up for disenfranchised youth, women's rights, mental health and the LGBTQ community.

Review: Paris Hilton's return to music is a vibrant exploration of her personal journey, packed with introspective lyrics and catchy beats. The album talks about her resilience, as she bravely shares her experiences, from her ADHD diagnosis to navigating the complexities of love and fame. Tracks like 'Chasin'' showcase her growth, offering a deeper, more heartfelt side that resonates with listeners. Her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion on 'BBA' adds an exciting dynamic, with a contagious rhythm that stands out. The album's production shines, especially in the upbeat and polished pop tunes, while the gatefold baby pink vinyl adds a charming, collectible touch to the release. While the album may not push boundaries, it's clear that Hilton's evolution as an artist is genuine, as she successfully blends personal reflection with catchy, accessible pop. For fans of pop music with an authentic heart, definitely an enjoyable listen.

Review: Whitney Houston was known as The Voice for good reason. Even now, decade on from her most famous material, no one has matched the range, power and emotion of the American songstress. She could not only do it in the studio, but also live on stage as this recording from a show at Madison Square Garden ably shows. It's got the most love anthems like 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' and 'How Will I Know' as well as a fine medley in the form of 'Didn't We Almost Have It All/A House Is Not A Home/Where Do Broken Hearts Go'. Crowd noises are also included for extra authentic energy and edge when listening back.
