JOHNNY MARR
The Messenger (Warner Bros.)
In The Smiths, his rampant guitars were the perfect foil to Morrissey’s lyrical flights of fancy. Now, 26 years on, Marr is stepping into the limelight with a solo album dominated by driving grooves and dreamy riffs. His singing lacks power, but his songs are sharp, the playing versatile. The soulful stomp of The Right Thing Right recalls fellow Mancunians Doves.

LAURA MVULA
Sing To The Moon (RCA Victor)
Classically trained Midlands soul diva Laura Mvula avoids taking easy options on this striking debut. An acquired taste rather than a sure-fire pop success, her hooks are subtle, her songs intense and her piano work complex and jazzy. Her voice, though, is a thing of beauty. She also harnesses some intriguing influences, evoking the spirit of Nina Simone on Father, Father.

BASTILLE
Bad Blood (Virgin)
South Londoners Bastille are going down a storm live, with frontman Dan Smith revelling in his Chris Martin-like ability to engage with an audience. Mixing moody electronics with anthemic choruses, this debut transfers their stage energy to the studio. It starts strongly and maintains momentum. They are set to conquer, too: new single Pompeii is battling Justin Bieber to top next week’s chart.

EMELI SANDE
Live At The Royal Albert Hall (Virgin CD/DVD)
After triumphing at the Brits, this is Sande’s first live album. Intimate piano tunes are her forte, with the ballads Clown and River simultaneously sad and uplifting. Other highlights include a haunting take on the Cup Final hymn Abide With Me and a note-faithful cover of Nina Simone’s I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free. On the evidence of two new songs, Enough and Pluto, her success looks set to continue.

JOSH GROBAN
All That Echoes (Reprise)
The crooner continues to rejuvenate the 'popera' genre by abandoning standards in favour of soft rock, gospel-tinged soul and Irish folk. His last album was produced by Rick Rubin. This one finds rocker Rob Cavallo in control, but don’t expect Green Day covers yet. Hollow Talk is an orchestral ballad, while Happy In My Heartache has a Laurel Canyon feel.

JUSTIN BIEBER
Believe Acoustic (Island)
Teen hunk Justin Bieber courted a more adult audience with some aplomb on his last album, Believe, but this unplugged take on the same material fails to further boost his credibility. The Canadian is a tuneful, sensitive singer, but propulsive dance tracks like Boyfriend and All Around The World lose something here, with guitarist Dan Kanter’s strumming no substitute for booming beats. Of the three new numbers, soulful ballad I Would, enhanced by drums and strings, is the pick.

LINDI ORTEGA
Cigarettes & Truckstops (Last Gang)
She was raised in the Toronto suburbs, but singer-songwriter Lindi Ortega recently relocated to Nashville to find her musical mojo. On the evidence of this second album, the move has paid off: there is much more to her than red boots and matching lipstick. With the title track a forlorn road-song, her main calling card is the heartbreak ballad, and her sultry vocals are reminiscent of a young Nancy Sinatra. But she can rock out, too, with Don’t Wanna Hear It recalling The Black Keys.

THE MAVERICKS
In Time (Decca)
A success in the Nineties on the back of feel-good hits like Dance The Night Away, Miami quintet The Mavericks are returning after a ten-year break. And, with opening track Back In Your Arms Again bolstered by bayou rhythms and Mexican horns, it initially feels great to have them back. Not all of the new songs, a trolley-dash between vintage American styles, are as strong, but bandleader Raul Malo’s voice, with its touches of Roy Orbison and Tom Jones, is a thing of wonder.
