Just in case that album cover isn’t argument enough, this album avoids any concerns over the dreaded ‘second album’. It convincingly delivers track after track of unbounded joy, great melodies blended with 80s synths and a few well chosen samples. Although “Break My Heart” has been chosen as the third single, that honour really belongs to track three, the catchy “Cool”.

An aptly titled album in the middle of a pandemic, 5SOS bring another album of inspired pop. Less than two years after their smash hit album Youngblood this one might not have quite had the exposure of that album but still features some strong singles – Wildflower, No Shame and Teeth in particular.

Acclaimed Kiwi pop quartet Yumi Zouma have come up with another pearler. Recorded in Los Angeles, London and Christchurch, AllMusic describes this album as “sweet, cozy and melodically engaging”. We think you’ll enjoy this sweet album in these crazy times.

A beautifully crafted country album – we’re looking forward to playing this very consistent album. AllMusic describe it as possessing a ” delicate richness; it’s music for meditative mornings or for afternoons in need of a dose of consolation and comfort”.
