Discover what our music team is listening to with our #NowPlaying!
The Texan trio’s first album proper since 2020’s Mordechai, and they haven’t weaned in delivering that which is perfectly silk smooth. Sailing through twelve through tracks of meandering psych-soul, easy listening has never been so engaging. Funk grooves, reverb laced guitars and tight, purposeful bass hooks, the middle-eastern inspired A La Sala exudes a skillful flair which demands repeat listens. By Steven F, Music Buyer

Chappell Roan / The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess
A wise musician once said, Pop music is the hardest kind to do well. Lorde was absolutely right when she said that, it's brutally hard to write good pop music, but Chappell Roan makes it look easy. With The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, this debut accomplishes more range in 49 minutes and 8 seconds than most musicians manage in 49 years. From the aching country ballads of Picture You or Pink Pony Club to the unrepentant drama of Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, and the incredibly powerful HOT TO GO! This is an album that grabs you by the back of the neck, ties you to a motorcycle and sends you into the sunset down Route 66. By Connor W, Community Manager

Fabiana Palladino / Fabiana Palladino
Fabiana Paladino harps back to 80’s synth-pop greatness? To say the new output by the London based Singer-Songwriter, championed by Jai Paul’s Paul Institute, is an 80’s pastiche would be totally false. It pulls the best bits and injects them with a freshness. A considered, well built pop symphony of period strings, wonderfully produced percussion and Fabiana’s voice. A voice that evokes feelings of Sade and Prince but in the end is undeniably her’s. This is not a pastiche, this is strains of 80’s synth-pop greatness for a new generation. By Steven F, Music Buyer
