SHAWN MENDES
Handwritten (Island)
Aged just 16, this week Mendes became the youngest singer since Justin Bieber to top the U.S. album chart, and comparisons between the two Canadians are inevitable. This debut relies heavily on romantic teen ballads, while recent single Life Of The Party embraces the thwack and boom of modern pop. There is more to Mendes, though, with the pounding acoustics of Something Big and Strings closer to Ed Sheeran.

MARTIN GORE
MG (Mute)
As the main songwriter in Depeche Mode, Martin Gore can write catchy pop songs in his sleep. But this solo album offers an intriguing detour, comprising 16 electronic instrumentals recorded in his LA home. With its gently pulsing rhythms and subtle hooks, MG sounds like the soundtrack to a sci-fi film, while there are nods to Kraftwerk and David Bowies 1977 album Low. It may not be essential, but MG is an enterprising reminder of Gores talent.

IMAGINE DRAGONS
Smoke + Mirrors (Interscope)
Finding their niche between the meaty pop of OneRepublic and Coldplays shiny rock, Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons had a major hit with Radioactive, a single that sold nine million. This second album charts a similarly glossy path. New single I Bet My Life chimes perfectly with a machine-tooled pop landscape where sparkling hooks are everything, but there is greater individuality in the jittery electronics of Gold and the beats that power Hopeless Opus.

KATHRYN ROBERTS & SEAN LAKEMAN
Tomorrow Will Follow Today (Iscream)
Crowned best duo at last years BBC Folk Awards, guitarist Lakeman and singer Roberts mix traditional fare with ear-catching originals. The Devon husband-and-wife team deliver a blood-soaked preface on murder ballad Child Owlet. Another ancient tune, The Robber Bridegroom, is similarly sinister. Self-penned numbers bring light relief: Song To Live By offers advice to the couples twin daughters; The Banishing Book is a racy gem.

FRYARS
Power (Fiction)
FROM the same London circles as Bombay Bicycle Club, Benjamin Garrett aka Fryars wrote two tracks for Lily Allens Sheezus album, but is more at home as a solo artist. This second album arrives five years after his debut and sees his talent maturing. His crooned vocals, augmented by skewed electronics and stunning harmonies, can sound mannered, but tracks such as On Your Own pack a hefty emotional punch.

ANNA PHOEBE
Between The Shadow And The Soul (The Orchard)
A BAREFOOT violin virtuoso with her heart in the prog-rock era, Phoebe toured with Roxy Music and Jon Lord, and she leads some superb ensemble playing on this mainly instrumental affair. She combines European folk and classical influences with verve. Ian Anderson adds trademark flute on A Moments Deception.

SCOTT MATTHEWS
Home Part 1 (San Remo)
THIS singer-songwriter has slipped under the radar since scooping an Ivor Novello award eight years ago. But his fifth album is a gem. Made in his West Midlands home studio, its observant songs are sung with a sweetness that recalls Elliott Smith.
