KT TUNSTALL
KIN (Virgin)
Disillusioned after failing to build on the huge impact of her 2004 debut Eye To The Telescope, KT Tunstall flew to California and began writing film scores. This full-blooded fifth album is her return to pop, and the Scottish singer sounds reinvigorated by producer Tony Hoffers authentic West Coast hooks and harmonies. Run On Home is all jangling, Byrds-like guitars. James Bay provides the perfect vocal foil on Two Way.

BASTILLE
Wild World (Virgin)
Having topped the charts with their first album, Bastille go bigger and bolder the second time around. The London quartets epic, cinematic songs are still underpinned by keyboards and Dan Smiths quavering voice, but horns, strings and garage-rock guitars have now been added to the mix. Bouncy single Good Grief samples sci-fi dialogue, while there are echoes of Depeche Mode in the heroic gloominess of Two Evils.

FREDDIE MERCURY
Messenger Of The Gods (Mercury)
Freddie Mercury's solo work pales alongside the magnificence of Queen, but this singles collection is a timely reminder of his astonishing voice in the week that he would have turned 70. Rock's ultimate showman was never understated, and there is bombast aplenty on his duets with operatic star Montserrat Caballé. His attempts to make dance music are flimsy approximations, but Living On My Own is a posthumous hit that endures.

WARD THOMAS
Cartwheels (Sony)
Hampshire twins Lizzy and Catherine Ward Thomas became Radio Two favourites with debut album From Where We Stand, but the country influences that inspired them then have been usurped by a poppy approach on their first effort for a major label. There are nods to Fleetwood Mac on Material, although the rueful Cartwheels makes them sound old before their time. The lyrics lack emotional punch, but the vocals are sublime.

ED HARCOURT
Furnaces (Polydor)
Don't let me dampen your mood, pleads Harcourt on a record that gloomily tackles war, climate change, fracking and alcohol abuse. Hes being droll, but this seventh album will do little to widen his cult appeal. He does have a flair for widescreen indie-rock. That and the title tracks bright horns offer some respite from his apocalyptic visions.

THE LEE THOMPSON SKA ORCH
Bite The Bullet (Axe Attack)
As the sax man in Madness, Lee co-wrote mega-hits House Of Fun and Embarrassment. These days, he divides his time between the nutty boys and this slick ska outfit. Mixing originals with older tunes, they cover The Beatles Ill Be Back and a Bond theme. Youll tap your feet to the title tracks lilting reggae.
