Cody Fry’s latest album, ‘Pictures of Mountains’, was one of the greatest musical achievements of the decade. It illustrated a side to pop that has only existed in imagination, a feat which Cody Fry made seem so easy. One of the highlights from that album, where the record takes its first turn, was the song ‘Photograph’. An orchestral ballad that slowly unveils itself layer after layer, telling the heart-wrenching story of one’s desire to live in their favorites moments forever. That song, touching so many, has been reimagined with Clair de Lune as a prelude, which only emphasizes the beauty of the original song, not only in theme but also as it stands strongly alongside one of the greatest classical pieces ever composed.

Once upon a time, Hak Baker was a member of the UK grime outfit B.O.M.B squad, but after some time away, he has come back to being a solo artist. His latest release is a great showcase of the undoubted talent he has.

Paramore has blessed us once again with a new album release titled This is Why. The band capitalizes on a softer sound, sounding elegant and smooth all the while maintaining the edge Paramore has been known for all their career. The penultimate song from the record, titled ‘Crave’, is not only a brilliant single on its own, but a wonderful way to prepare the album’s sendoff.

After seven studio albums, the British based rock band are clearly still thirsty for more success, as their creativity grows from strength to strength. Their first EP from 2004 catapulted You and Me at Six to mainstream audiences and now they have a huge loyal fanbase. With the band now in their early 30s, you can imagine that they themselves were influenced by the explosion of guitar music of the 90s, and you won’t be surprised that this song is a celebration of that. 

US rockers Paramore are back with their first studio album in almost six years. But trust us when we say, “This is Why” has been well and truly worth the wait. They may have taken an extended break during COVID lockdowns but have emerged stronger than ever with an album that grabs your attention from the very first track and does not let go.

Jessie Ware has a powerful and unique sound that she has developed over her years in the industry. Now, at the age of 40, she has amassed a core following and carries a wonderful reputation as a performer. Whilst older than some of her famous alumni school mates, she can say (or more so they can) they attended the same school as Florence Welch and Jack Penate, and some may argue she has had the most illustrious career to date. 

Ellie Goulding has been a feature of the UK music scene since 2009, with a fantastic collection of releases and accolades to put her in the pop royalty bracket of the UK music scene. Her latest release is a little overdue, but her fans will love the texture and composition of her new tracks, and Like a Saviour has the key ingredients to become a favourite for many of her fans. 

Many a good country star has hailed from Tennessee, and Morgan Wallen is the latest to be gracing the airwaves. We first met Morgan Wallen as a contestant on the 2014 version of The Voice. After this exposure he then signed to Panacea Records and began to embark on a successful career as a solo musician. 

Canadian songstress Shania Twain has launched a brilliant comeback album, her first offering in almost six years. “Queen of Me” has now been released and has absolutely been worth the wait. Twain’s delightful vocals sound even better than ever, as she continues to dance that line so effortlessly between country and pop.

Caroline Polachek has been a long standing member of the music scene since her emergence with Chairlight and their first EP in 2007. Many releases later and her huge amount of critical acclaim, Blood and Butter is the latest release in a long line of successful tunes.
