She famously entered rehab in 2013 following a very public collapse. And in a series of happy and vibrant Twitter photos shared by Amanda Bynes on Friday, the actress turned design student truly did appear to have turned a corner.

KYLIE
Kiss Me Once (Parlophone)
She might have parted company with her long-term manager and found a new musical adviser in fellow Aussie singer Sia Furler, but it is business as usual on frothy, flirty tracks such as Into The Blue and the Madonna-esque Million Miles. There are subtle updates to the coquettish Kylie template. The high point is Feels So Good, a rousing slice of pop-R&B; that features fast-rising London whizz-kid MNEK. Less impressive are the moments where Kylie, 45, tries to compete with younger chart princesses.

SAM BAILEY
The Power Of Love (Syco)
Warbling ballads dominate the X Factor winners debut. She powers through Oleta Adamss Get Here, but a duet with Nicole Scherzinger is too lung-bursting for its own good. The indecent haste of this release hardly suggests longevity.

THE WAR ON DRUGS
Lost In The Dream (Secretly Canadian)
These subtle indie-rockers from Philadelphia mix hypnotic rhythms with long instrumental breaks. If Dylan or Springsteen had been equipped with laptop computers instead of acoustic guitars, their early albums might have sounded like this.

ELBOW
The Take Off And Landing Of Everything (Fiction)
They became a staple on sports programmes, soaps and reality shows on the back of their soaring 2008 single One Day Like This a Hey Jude for the Noughties but Manchester quintet Elbow mark their sixth album by adopting a less singalong approach. With an expanded line-up that includes contributions from Manchesters Hallé Orchestra plus guest trumpeters and saxophonists, the bands sweeping sound is even more wide-ranging than before, although big numbers like This Blue World lack the hooks of their arena-rock peers Coldplay. Yet there is something deeper and more plaintive about Elbow.

DAN CROLL
Sweet Disarray (Deram)
Tutored by Paul McCartney when he was a student at the ex-Beatles Liverpool academy, singer-songwriter Dan Croll combines folk and electronics on this promising debut. There are nods to his illustrious mentor on the Sixties-tinged piano-pop of Can You Hear Me and shades of Vampire Weekend and Graceland-era Paul Simon on jittery single From Nowhere. Already an internet sensation, the velvety-voiced 22-year-old is primed for bigger things.

JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN
The Classic (Play It Again Sam)
New England singer-songwriter Joan Wasser aka Joan As Police Woman - once played guitar and violin for Lloyd Cole and Rufus Wainwright, but this album finds her exploring brisk soul, doo-wop and dusky-hearted blues. I dont want to be nostalgic, she sings on Good Together, but this album is a skilfully-crafted throwback to bygone eras. At her best when she keeps the material crisp and concise, she excels on the pulsing lovers rock of Ask Me.

METRONOMY
Love Letters (Because Music)
Having dipped into Eighties electronics on their excellent debut album, The English Riviera, Devonshire four-piece Metronomy broaden their scope on a follow-up recorded in an old-fashioned London studio that once housed The White Stripes. The spirit of the Eighties is again evident, but frontman Joe Mounts tight songs also nod towards Sixties psychedelia and, on the piano-driven title track, vintage Motown with a wistful, nostalgic glow.

ROSANNE CASH
The River & The Thread (Blue Note)
Johnny Cashs daughter embraces a range of rootsy styles on this musical trek through the Deep South. Her sound is rich, with the swampy blues of A Feathers Not A Bird setting the tone. Modern Blue and The Long Way Home boast a more contemporary feel, enhanced by guests such as John Paul White, of alt-country duo The Civil Wars.
