A challenging call this week with some big releases – A Star Is Born, Sydney songwriter Ivy Adara’s Intraduction EP, Eric Church’s powerful Desperate Man, the excellent Felivand with In Bloom and Twenty One Pilot’s big Trench.
We had to go with the beautiful album by kiwi Anika Moa though. A collection of songs which belie her TV persona, the album was recorded in New Orleans a few months ago with an amazing backing band. Enjoy!

Another great selection. Shallow is the first single from the A Star Is Born soundtrack and deserves to do well.
Sigala Feat. Kodaline – All For Love
Loud Luxury feat. Brando – Body
Kodaline – Shed A Tear
Rod Stewart & Bridget Cady – Cold Old London
Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper – Shallow

We loved Christine and the Queens’ first album a few years ago, and the singles already out for this new effort are remarkable as well. The full album is worth a listen. Unusually we agree with Pitchfork‘s gushing review. It gets into detail about the courage and creativity of her gender crossing persona. We just think its a great collection of music, especially “Girlfriend”, “5 Dollars” and “Doesn’t Matter”. See what you think.

Stephen Erlewine describes this album as “an impassioned collection that spins his signature sounds into something stirring and, at times, incandescent”. This is a positive and much anticipated album four years on from Strut.

“Macca’s back in the groove” proclaimed The Guardian. Certainly this album contains a number of cracking tracks. Any older artist working with Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic etc) seems to attract immediate fire, presumably for trying to be contemporary. Paul however has always incorporated ‘of the moment’ influences as a rock and pop artist, while remaining true to his core sound as well. This collaboration produces a great catchy tune (“Fuh You”) however its joined by a number of other great tracks including “I Don’t Know”, “Come On To Me”, “Dominoes” and “Back In Brazil” amongst others. We look forward to checking out the album through the week.

British folk artist Passenger (aka Mike Rosenberg) takes us on a road trip through America. Perhaps more of the same, but a pleasant sounding album none the less.

Their first album in seven years received generally favourable reviews. A great sound, and in the absence of much in the way of exciting new releases a good chance to check out an album we didn’t get a chance to feature back in May.

We’ve been looking forward to this one from Aussie singer-songwriter Amy Shark since her breakthrough last year, including her great EP Night Thinker. Aside from “Adore” this album features a new lineup of songs with some really solid efforts. Everyone will have their favourites but “I Said Hi” is one we’ve really been enjoying as a preview single. This album deserves to do well – the critics have certainly been kind.

The Guardian described it as a parade of EMO-Pop Pizzazz. This certainly is a professional job, theatrical with great layers of great instrumentation, good melodies and wordy lyrics. We’ve been playing the infectious “High Hopes” for a while but you’ll enjoy the rest of the tracks, especially the awesome “Amen (Saturday Night)”. Check out the video – must have been a lot of fun!
