LATEST ALBUM RELEASES
Scroll through for the latest new album releases
Live At Madison Square Garden (Virgin EMI)
Following in the footsteps of Drake, The Weeknd and Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes is the latest Canadian set for stardom. This digital-only live release offers a succinct career resume against a backdrop of screaming fans. Like Justin, the Toronto teenager began by posting cover versions online, but his soft-rock songs avoid Biebers fondness for dance music, looking instead to Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars for inspiration. He tours in the spring.
★★★
Only In My Mind (Virgin EMI)
London-based American Norma Jean ropes in the legendary Burt Bacharach, UK singer-swingwriter Ed Harcourt and Athletes Joel Pott on this sultry debut, but her songs of bruised romance owe just as much to her own experiences. The singer, 25, adopts the husky tone of Lana Del Rey on I Want You To Want Me before evoking the Sixties girl groups on Still In Love With You. The Bacharach co-write Im Still Here has the feel of a standard, with Martines bluesy pop making her a name to watch.
★★★★
Stop The Moment (Epic)
THIS new edition of singer-songwriter Joness spring 2016 debut had been expanded in advance of a major promotional push, and the deluxe upgrade works well for the 21-year-old from Stevenage. With blues masters such as B.B. King as his role models, his tunes put a soulful slant on the folk-pop of George Ezra and Ed Sheeran. The newer tracks, one recorded on a mobile phone, emphasise his acoustic roots, with the sincere and spirited Rollercoaster the pick.
★★★
Savoy Motel (Whats Your Rupture)
This Nashville quartet aspires to play southern rock in a modern tradition, but their debut also owes something to Seventies glam a recurring theme these days on the indie underground, typified by fellow Americans the Lemon Twigs. There are shades of Roxy Music on Western Version Boogie and nods to the staccato style of the Strokes. The bands three singers, one male and two female, lend a distinctive edge.
★★★
Dictionary Of Soul (Rhino)
Now expanded, Reddings fifth LP is one of the defining moments of soul music. Powered by a band that included Booker T & The MGs, plus pianist Isaac Hayes, it was the last solo release before his death in 1967 and features the classics Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song) and Try A Little Tenderness. Otis even turned The Beatles Day Tripper into a Southern soul stomper.
★★★★★
Ring Spiel Tour 95 (Columbia)
Watt is an unsung stalwart of U.S. grunge rock, and his 1995 touring band were dubbed the Mount Rushmore of American indie for good reason: Pearl Jams Eddie Vedder was prominent as was Foo Fighter Dave Grohl. This live album veers between country and rock, with Watts originals spiced up with Madonna and Blue Oyster Cult covers.
★★★★
