Neneh Cherry The Versions

The Versions is a collaboration album of covers from her catalogue by an all-female line-up. The 10-track album, out June 10, will feature Robyn, Sia, Kelsey Lu, Jamila Woods, Tyson, and more. All of the artists on the LP have a personal connection to Cherry and her music. Listening to this album takes me back in time especially the reworked version of ‘Manchild’ with Sia.

Kehlani Blue Water Road

This album finds Kehlani in a good place focussing on love and spirituality and replacing the darkness of her 2020 album with a fresh vibe that feels uplifting. She is joined by Justin Beiber, Jesse Reyes and Syd to create an album that is softer, stronger and better than ever.

Kylie Infinite Disco

I really can’t resist a Kylie album and this one is a real treat, especially if you fancy boogying around the kitchen! Livestreamed in November 2020, the album features live performances from Kylie’s "Infinite Disco" online performance. The album features favourites like "In Your Eyes," "Light Years," "Slow (a mash-up with Donna Summer's iconic "Love To Love You Baby') and "Say Something," performed with the House Gospel Choir.

If you love Kylie, you won’t be disappointed.

Bonnie Raitt Just Like That

The mix of sounds and approaches on 'Just Like That’ reveals how, 50 years after the release of her debut album, Raitt continues to personify what it means to stay creative, adventurous, and daring over the course of a life's work. 'On this record, I wanted to stretch', she says. 'I always want to find songs that excite me, and what's different this time is that I've tried some styles and topics I haven't touched on before'. It’s been six years since her last studio album, Dig in Deep, and it’s been worth the wait.

30: Happy Returns

Kate Rusby

I was really excited when I saw the press release for this album. I haven’t listened to Kate for years - I simply got out of the way but the 'First Lady of Folk', celebrates an amazing 30 years as a professional musician with the release of a brand new album 30: Many Happy Returns. The album features collaborations with heavy hitters such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Richard Hawley, Darlingside, KT Tunstall, Sarah Jarosz, Sam Kelly, Dan Tyminski, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Damien O'Kane and on the physical version of the album, a bonus track with the Royal Northern Sinfonia. The songs are newly recorded versions of favourites from across Kate's career.
