Review: Chappell Roan's debut The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is a vibrant, eclectic pop album blending feminist themes, queerness, and playful energy. Opening with the feminist anthem 'Femininomenon', Roan combines humor and country-pop with industrial disco, setting a bold tone. Viral hit 'Red Wine Supernova' channels early 2000s pop-rock, with carefree storytelling and catchy beats, while 'After Midnight' dives into club-ready, Katy Perry-style disco pop. The introspective 'Coffee' slows the pace with somber piano, showing Roan's emotional depth, while 'Casual" is equally as impactful. One of the highlight's is 'Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl' which brings an 80s synth-pop flair, recalling Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. Brimming with vibrant energy. Roan's personality and wide-ranging influences shine throughout, making her a pop standout.

It reflects the contrast between my Midwestern upbringing and life in one of the biggest U.S. cities, capturing the rollercoaster ride of becoming the pop star I always dreamed of being." It is an effortlessly delightful work that will more than stand the test of time.

Review: Classic reissue! A stunner from Gwen. One of her catchiest club tunes from the early years! "It Should Have Been You" bounces along on a tight bassline, with riffing guitar, and sweet washes of keys that really set the scene for the strong lead vocal flipside contains "God Don't Like Ugly'.

Review: The upcoming second solo studio album by US singer-songwriter and guitarist Brittany Howard (of Alabama Shakes fame), What Now follows up Jaime and its Reimagined edition, striking out with a fierce, "truest and bluest", nigh "brutal" lyricism, in which Howard addresses the titular question - "what now?" - and how today's society might respond. Written, of course, during the height of the pandemic, when such doubts were excised and up in the air (and more so than usual), the album's sonic aesthetic spans full-bodied funk, psychedelic chord progressions, and a powerful bombast. The overall answer sounds to be: move through it; surrender to "the now", gracefully.

Review: Reportedly written and recorded after hearing The Clash's cover of Junior Murvin's 'Police & Thieves', 'Punky Reggae Party' isn't one of the more celebrated releases in Bob Marley's discography. Yet there's so much to like about it, as this reissue of the original Jamaican 12" proves. For starters, it saw Marley and the Wailers reunite in the studio with legendary producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry, whose stylistic ticks and subtle touches are evident throughout. It was produced in 1977 at height of disco fever (something Perry was particularly suspicious of, believing that it was leading Rastafarian youths astray) and the A-side is a genuinely epic reggae 'disco mix' that rolls out to nine minutes and includes some fine scat freestyling from Marley. The similarly epic flip-side dub is not Perry's wildest, but undeniably dancefloor ready.
