STING
57th & 9th (Polydor)
Sting returns to conventional pop on an album named after a crossroads near his Manhattan studio. I Cant Stop Thinking About You revisits the jangling guitar thrust of The Police, while Heading South On The Great North Road tells of how the singer left his native Wallsend to seek his fortune. The mood is urgent and concise, and Sting is still a master of the artful melodic twist.

ALICIA KEYS
Here (RCA)
Having sung Empire State Of Mind with Jay-Z, Alicia Keys returns to her New York hometown for inspiration. A series of inner-city vignettes, her sixth album intersperses soulful songs with rambling interludes, as Keys trades classical piano for tougher styles as she skips between R&B;, doo-wop and blues. This lacks the snap of 2012s Girl On Fire, but Keys in full voice remains spectacular.

MICHAEL BALL & ALFIE BOE
Together (Decca)
With a UK tour underway and a Christmas TV special in the pipeline, tenor Alfie Boe and stage musical star Michael Ball are going to be hard to avoid. This polished album of showtunes plays to their strengths, with the more subtle moments preventing it from becoming sugary. Youll Never Walk Alone is Liverpool fan Boes tribute to the Hillsborough victims and families, and I Dreamed A Dream an operatic tour de force..

BON JOVI
This House Is Not For Sale (Virgin EMI)
Forced to raise his game after long-term sidekick Richie Sambora left, Jon Bon Jovi is the driving force on a rousing collection of blue-collar rock. Chest-beating anthems and bullish survivor songs prevail, and new guitarist Phil X supplies a tight, catchy thrust to replace Sambora. Bon Jovis vocals are gutsy, with Labour Of Love a dark ballad and Scars On This Guitar a love letter to life on the road.

Im Yours (Stranger)
The youngest daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates aims for credibility rather than the pop mainstream. Her songs are softer and more subtle than anything Bob ever did. With strings and country-ish guitars prominent, she recalls Lana Del Rey on Close To You and addresses the tragic death of her sister Peaches on Twin Thing. A delicate, but quietly confident, debut. .

THE PRETENDERS
Alone (BMG)
Chrissie Hynde exudes punk insouciance while singing with a velvety sheen on the first Pretenders album in eight years. Made with fellow Akron native Dan Auerbach, its tough but tender songs have a retro-rock feel that apes Auerbach's own band The Black Keys. The title track mixes elements of David Bowie, Lou Reed and the Stones. Veteran rock n roller Duane Eddy adds twangy guitar on Never Be Together.
