Keeping you up to date with the week’s hottest album releases
Artist: Lola Young
Album: This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway
Label: Island
Genres: Pop, R&B, alt rock
Lola Young is on the cusp of the breakthrough that she deserves, collecting a Brit award nomination, John Lewis single, and BBC “Sound of” nod over the last three years. This record celebrates individuality, never sits still and shows that pop can wear many masks.
Artist: Lake Street Dive
Album: Good Together
Label: Lake Street Dive Music
Genres: Pop-soul, indie pop, folk rock, alt jazz, blues
If you’ve been a bit down recently, this LP could be the pick-me-up you need. Lake Street Drive make cheerful, danceable music that sits comfortably between new and old, and always put Rachael Price’s distinctive, bluesy vocals front and centre. Furthermore, if these tracks take your fancy, there are plenty more in their catalogue for you to comb through.
Artist: Gracie Abrams
Album: The Secret of Us
Label: Interscope
Genres: Pop, indie pop, bedroom pop
“Industry plants” have existed since the dawn of commercial music but social media allows them to be attacked more today than they were in the past. With her second studio
album, Abrams attempts to move out from the shadow of the pop stars who helped her find fame but fails to differentiate herself from their signature sounds.
