LATEST ALBUM RELEASES

JAMES MORRISON
Higher Than Here (Island)
Morrison became pops prince of pain after he was rejected by reality TV show Fame Academy, and he remains a tormented soul here. Building on the Motown sheen he added on 2011s The Awakening, he addresses his mothers depression on Too Late For Lullabies and sings Heaven To A Fool about his late father. Big ballads dominate, given authority by Morrisons commanding voice, but there are detours into funky, Eighties soul and pulsing house, too.

VARIOUS
We Love Disney (Verve)
Some classic Disney songs are interpreted by a diverse cast of singers on an album made for the label that was once home to Ella Fitzgerald. R&B; crooner Ne-Yo adopts a suitably jazzy tone on Friend Like Me (from Aladdin) and Ariana Grande shows her Broadway chops on Zero To Hero (Hercules). Country singer Kacey Musgraves turns Spoonful Of Sugar (Mary Poppins) into a Nashville romp, but Jessie J overstates her case on the Little Mermaid song Part Of Your World.

SKINDRED
Volume (Napalm)
Welsh rockers Skindred skip between genres without losing their edge. Volume is the Newport bands sixth effort, and it uses pile-driving guitars and powerful yet intricate drums to navigate a path through heavy metal, reggae and dance. Titles such as Hit The Ground and Sound The Siren tell their own bruising story, but there is plenty of finesse amid the fury. Bristling with energy and intent, these rousing choruses sound tailor-made for next summers festivals.

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.
