Label: JagjaguwarReleased: 11th April 2025Justin Vernon is an artist who has gently traversed the thorny spectrum of cool for almost twenty years now with Bon Iver, sometimes having huge mainstream breakthroughs like winning Grammy Awards and collabing with Taylor Swift but at others content to quietly plough his own esoteric but distinctly singular furrow. You can kind of see him as an internet-age version of old 80s pop star Phil Collins.

Label: AtlanticReleased: 28th March 2025After the bonkers hyperpop-inflected excess of Chloe Moriondo’s second album ‘Sucker Punch’ comes the reflective and lucid songwriting brilliance of ‘Oyster’. ‘Oyster’ captures all the sonic impulses and flights of fancy that make Chloe such a great pop figure; this time, though, it’s more refined and focused. Less of the kitchen sink and more of the perfectly arranged group of utensils that all serve a specific purpose.

Label: FictionReleased: 21st March 2025The Horrors are one of those bands who are always reliably brilliant. They never let you down and are always inventive and mystifying, dark and alluring. Most importantly, they are still here, which few people would have predicted when they emerged with the unhinged scrappy punk chaos of their debut ‘Strange House’.

Label: Dead OceansReleased: 21st March 2025Melancholy can come in waves, or it can be a pervasive all-encompassing presence that inflects everything. For Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast, melancholy and channelling that sense of sadness into creative magic is the spirit that informs her stunning fourth album ‘For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad Women)’.

Label: RCAReleased: 21st February 2025A lot of people have an awful lot to say about Tate McRae. She’s either the most exciting new pop star on the planet or she’s the totemic symbol of pop’s eternal nostalgia loop with her pitch-perfect songs redolent of Britney and Ciara and the golden age of Y2K pop. The reality is both of those can be true as Tate serves up classic sounds in a fresh package for a new generation of pop fans to discover their own new idol in real time.

Can’t believe Katy Perry only spent 11 minutes in space. What a letdown. You could listen to Woman’s World 4.125 times for the whole time she was in orbit
I also did this cover feature on one of the artists and album of the year so far
