Tra riff serrati, testi taglienti e quella carica emotiva che da sempre li contraddistingue, i Ministri tornano con "Aurora Popolare", in uscita per Woodworm/Universal. Un disco che racconta il reale, tra paure e possibilità di reazione per un nuovo e diverso inizio. "Noi non vogliamo indicare, informare e neanche fare propaganda ma parlare di un sentimento politico, che è anche del cittadino e di un individuo nella comunità. Quel sentimento che nasce in una collettività di persone che stanno cercando di cambiare qualcosa e che magari, per un attimo, percepiscono il fantasma dell'ottimismo e della possibilità" ha raccontato Federico Dragogna, che con Davide Autelitano e Michele Esposito forma il trio milanese.

The return of Lola Young with this year's massive POP album. Standard LP: Pressed on 140g nude pink vinyl, this edition comes with a 12x12 insert and includes the hit single ‘One Thing’. It’s sweet, subtle, and a little sarcastic, perfect for those days when you need to scream into the void and still look cute doing it. Call it “basic,” call it iconic, either way, it’s yours to define.

Look Out Live! perfectly encapsulates the magic of Johnny Marr's sold-out show at the Hammersmith Apollo, London in 2024. The night was a culmination of his 2024 Spirit Power tour and showcases his 40-year repertoire of distinctive songwriting and the guitar sound that has seen Johnny regarded as the most influential guitarist of his generation.

SOMM Recordings is thrilled to collaborate once again with the Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman piano duo following their highly praised six-volume recording of the nine symphonies by Beethoven arranged for piano duet by Xaver Scharwenka—about which International Piano says, “These readings afford unmitigated pleasure … the articulation and voicing of the players persuades us into thinking we’re in the middle of an unleashed virtuoso orchestra.” Now, these award-winning South African-born artists present music for two pianos and piano duet from their adopted country, highlighting works by Gustav Holst and Edward Elgar.

Named one of CBC’s 30 Under 30, baritone Olivier Bergeron makes his recording debut with Nuits blanches. Featuring five song cycles by Ravel, Debussy, Fauré, and Jolivet. The album explores the many shades of love through the intimate lens of mélodie française.

The French and Italian Renaissance song repertoire, immortalised during the first three decades of the sixteenth century by the printed editions of Pierre Attaingnant in Paris and Ottaviano Petrucci in Venice, invites audiences, and in former times performers, to immerse themselves in a world in which memories of medieval courtly poetry, the austerity (as reimagined in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries) of ancient lamentations, and a fully polyphonic narrative style, were all collided and superimposed-a certain sense of conversation can remind us also of the French air de cour as well as the early Italian madrigal form.

We have covered country/Americana artist Emilia Quinn a couple of times here at the magazine, and she is an artist we have been positive about recommending our country/Americana readers to have a listen to! I was happy to be given the task of reviewing her album “Dented Halos” which is released on September 19th.

Following recent songs “Violent Nature” and “Into Hell,” the long-running metalcore band have unveiled another new banger, “Rain” — and all three tracks are set to appear on their now-officially confirmed next album, Violent Nature.

While The Third Mind may be a supergroup—the band consists of Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Alvin (The Blasters), bassist Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker), drummer Michael Jerome (Richard Thompson, John Cale), guitarist David Immergluck (Counting Crows, John Hiatt), and singer/songwriter Jesse Sykes—the quintet’s mesmerizing new album, Right Now!, is as ego-less a record as you’ll find. Captured over four days in LA, the collection is a masterclass in being present, in letting go of control and embracing the thrill of collaboration. The recordings represent a singular moment—completely unscripted, completely unrehearsed—and the performances are as unpredictable as they are engrossing, blurring the lines between psychedelic rock, folk, blues, and soul on tunes from artists as diverse as Elizabeth Cotton and Pharoah Sanders.

Something Beautiful is the ninth studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus. It was released on May 30, 2025, through Columbia Records and was accompanied by a musical film of the same name on June 6, 2025.

Naomi Campbell and Brittany Howard appear as guest artists.

There is much to celebrate in Joy Crookes' second full-length album. The 12-track Juniper is understated, but rich with everything we have come to love about the Crookes—and plenty more. For megafans, this album has been a long time coming. Not only has it been four years since her debut, Skin, but Crookes has also been slowly teasing its follow-up by dropping six singles over the last year in a waterfall-style release. Fans of Amy Winehouse, Jorja Smith, and even Marvin Gaye will see why the 26-year-old multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter is such a source of pride for South London.

Bring home the show-stopping performances and dazzling songs from the recording breaking, The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical.

Informed by reflections on the digital age's impact on memory and the band's own remarkable journey from teenage friends to alternative rock giants, 'Futique' explores the challenges and enduring connections that define them. It's a powerfully relatable narrative from one of Britain's most beloved bands, reminding us to appreciate what we have.
