Review: Licorice Pizza is the new film from acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson. Set in the San Fernando Valley in 1973, it's a veritable time capsule of a movie with a soundtrack to match. There's plenty of classic period pieces gathered here on this album, featuring songs by David Bowie, Nina Simone, and Wings, Donovan, Sonny & Cher, Gordon Lightfoot, and more. As well as that, there's also a new original song written by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, who has worked with Anderson before. Look out for Chuck Berry performing with Steve Miller Band for an added surprise in the midst of the hits, and a deep cut from Joe Walsh's pre-Eagles band James Gang.

Review: Zayn's album Room Under the Stairs promises a deeply personal journey, reflecting his growth and introspection over the past six years. The soulful single 'What I Am' sets the tone for an album characterised by raw honesty and vulnerability. Collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb adds depth to Zayn's exploration of live instrumentation and poetic lyricism. His stripped-back approach aims for an intimate connection with listeners. With teasers on popular shows like The Tonight Show and Hot Ones, anticipation for Zayn's most personal work to date is palpable. Room Under the Stairs is poised to be a standout moment in his discography. Expect this to be very popular album.
