Back catalogue: All genres

Review: London-based singer-songwriter, producer and DJ SG Lewis is back with his sophomore long player. AudioLust & HigherLove finds the talented creator building on his auspicious debut with a record that is served up in two distinctive halves. His debut was all about colourful and cosmic disco and here he offers driving late-night club bangers as well as ecstatic pop sounds. Both are effortlessly and expertly realised so as to make maximum impact in a range of settings from sweaty back rooms to festival main stages via glistening pool-side parties in Miami. Big hooks, organic instrumentation and vocal eloquence are all in plentiful supply on a record that cements his status as a modern great.

Review: Global pop megastar and lockdown-lamenter Sam Smith debuts 'Gloria', their next LP following in the wake of the singles 'Unholy' and 'Love Me More', both of which garnered much success. Touted as their most anthemic record yet, this is Smith at the heights of both balladry and emotion, but also excess and overt sexual themes, including collaborations from Kim Petras, Jessie Reyez, Koffee and Ed Sheeran.

Review: Sting's journey began in the industrial heart of Newcastle, a city long defined by its shipyards and coal mines, shaping the grit and resilience that would come to define his music. Growing up amidst the working-class challenges of the north, he found his voice both in the rough edges of his environment and in his natural affinity for jazz, reggae and punk. As a young man, he developed a passion for music, which would later merge with the intellectualism and protest anthems of his lyrics. It's this fusion of roots and ambition that propelled him from local gigs in the late 70s to becoming an international icon with The Police. Fast-forward to today, and his music continues to reflect this complex blend of influences. His latest offering, recorded during his latest tour, highlights this evolution with renewed energy, offering live renditions of some of his most iconic tracks. While the classics like 'Message in a Bottle' and 'Every Breath You Take' are as timeless as ever, there's an undeniable freshness in how Sting approaches them today. The intimacy of live performance allows for new emotional layers in songs like 'Fields of Gold' while the meditative live version of 'Be Still My Beating Heart' adds a deeper sense of reflection, demonstrating his ability to continuously reframe his sound and approach.

Review: Sub Focus has as far back as we can remember always been a 'big name' in drum & bass, but it's only now that the London-based music producer cements it as such with a slice of contextualising nostalgia. Evolve is his new LP, charting a new feel for 1990s influences and various musical homages to the acts and songs that contributed to his sense of musical evolution and maturity as a musician. Nods to the Chemical Brothers and early jungle and hardcore are conveyed through contemporary collabs with the likes of CamelPhat, Gene Farris and LOWES.

Review: After a run which has seen her re-recording her early albums in defiance of a restrictive record deal, Taylor Swift dropped a bomb at the MTV VMAs this year by announcing her 10th studio album. Since then, the information has been trickling out with the steady precision we expect from one of pop's biggest stars, and finally we can clutch Midnights. An album steeped in concept and supposedly drawing from 13 different sleepless nights from throughout Swift's life, it's a reflection on those strange places we go in ourselves when we choose to burn the midnight oil, crafted alongside her steadfast producer Jack Antonoff. There are a variety of editions of this highly anticipated record, and this Blood Moon pressing is sure to be one of the most coveted.

Review: In the continuing re-recording process for Pennsylvanian singer-songwriter, Billboard artist of the decade, and international sensation Taylor Swift, '1989' is the latest on the hit list of masters Swift is reclaiming - and arguably the most important. 'Blank Space', 'Shake it Off', 'Style', 'Bad Blood'...these are just four of the 16 songs that unquestionably cemented Swift's status as an eternal icon. Her previous, fourth album 'Red' - the first to be re-recorded - may have been her true breakthrough into charting pop, but '1989' is easily what has catapulted her to the level she is at today. Not only does the original music have so much weight behind it, but so does this brand new package: Brand new alternate art front and back covers, two gorgeous tangerine discs, never before seen photos on the album sleeves and - most importantly - FIVE unreleased songs from Swift's presumably unending vault of shelved tracks.
