LATEST ALBUM RELEASES
Scroll through for the latest new album releases
Wild Silence (Decca)
Theres an appealing rawness to this debut. A male-female quartet with a folk-rock penchant, their harmonies will elicit comparisons with Fleetwood Mac, but the acoustic instrumentation looks more to country, with Fire And Water a lively hoedown and Burning Bridges a nostalgic ballad.
★★★
Fifty Shades Freed (Island)
The final instalment of the film trilogy has yielded an uneven but entertaining soundtrack. It mixes new material from stars such as Sia and Dua Lipa with pop newcomers. The most intriguing inclusions come from emerging Californian singers Kiana Ledé, Sabrina Claudio and Julia Michaels, who steal the show.
★★★★
Burning Cities (No Bad)
Scottish punk pioneers The Skids show a real sense of urgency on this bracing comeback, their first album in 37 years. They race through the first ten songs without pausing for breath, slowing the pace only on the atmospheric closer Desert Dust. Singer Richard Jobson is a galvanising presence, while Bruce Watson wisely avoids trying to emulate the angular guitar sounds of the late Stuart Adamson. With the band now back on tour, this is a distinguished return
★★★★
On Air (Polydor)
'Our policy is to produce an authentic Chicago R&B; sound, said the Stones to the BBC in 1963, and these early radio sessions are steeped in the blues. With Brian Jones on superb slide guitar, they tackle Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters, making On Air a distant cousin to last years Blue & Lonesome. The rough and ready originals also catch the ear, including Satisfaction and a forceful The Spider And The Fly. >★★★★
Wembley Or Bust (Sony)
Recorded at Wembley Stadium in June, this CD/ DVD celebrates ELOs flawless blend of pop and classical. Rockaria has some suitably operatic flourishes, while the overblown 10538 Overture was the template for Oasiss Be Here Now. Lynne is more of a craftsman than he is a showman, but its hard to resist the melodic sweep of Mr Blue Sky, Xanadu and the Traveling Wilburys Handle With Care.
★★★
Live In London (Gingerbread Man)
Mentored by Elton John and Ed Sheeran, the Irish singer-songwriter is in excellent voice on this solo show at Londons Union Chapel. He spends as much time talking as singing, but the simple setting suits his informal approach. He augments Van Morrison-like originals with piano and ukulele and adds rambling anecdotes to a cover of Tom Pettys Free Fallin>★★★
