• Lorde review – melodrama for the masses

  01-10-2017 10:00
  Alexandra Palace, London
  Lorde’s latest album walks a tightrope between art pop and the mainstream – but can she maintain the balance live?Lorde’s disembodied voice purrs out across the darkened palace. “I sip the drink,” it says, darkly, defiantly. “I lie to you. I go to secret worlds.” We are in a brief interval, in which a black, chiffon-clad Lorde goes backstage to become the white-gowned prom queen of the second section. Vintage video snip

• Kamasi Washington: Harmony of Difference review – a glorious exploration of diversity

  01-10-2017 09:00
  (Young Turks)Credited with making jazz cool again, Kamasi Washington’s cosmic clout is undeniable. Following his acclaimed 2015 debut album The Epic, this EP finds him exploring the concept of diversity via counterpoint. Where The Epic might occasionally have felt directionless, the succinct nature of Harmony of Difference means there’s a clear purpose: Washington warmly traverses various themes (across both subject and music) and – via the wailing sax on Humility, the sleazy f

• Ibeyi: Ash review – girl-positive and outward-looking

  01-10-2017 09:00
  (XL)The second album from French-Cuban twins Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé Diaz updates the themes and techniques of their modern-ancient music, which refracts African-Cuban roots through a 21st-century digital prism. Deathless, a gripping account of Lisa’s wrongful, racially-motivated arrest at 16, features a sax line from Kamasi Washington and – controversially – Auto-Tune. Inspired in part by Beyoncé (Ibeyi figured in Lemonade’s visuals) and in part by present po

• Betsy: Betsy review – high-vamp glossy pop

  01-10-2017 09:00
  (Warner Brothers)The proud owner of a voice that could strip paint – think Shirley Bassey, Paloma Faith and Cher in a wind tunnel – Wales’s Betsy dominates the glossy pop of her self-titled debut, cloaking everything she sings in vampy high drama. It means her producers are occasionally left straining to keep up, their default settings on the upbeat songs oscillating between Lost & Found’s dated drum’n’bass and the suffocating MOR dance-pop of Last Ti

• Andrew Weatherall: Qualia review – sumptuous take on dancefloor solitude

  01-10-2017 09:00
  (Höga Nord)“Qualia” is a lovely word for the private sensations of experience. Or the private experience of sensations. Either way, it’s an excellent take on the communal solitude of the dancefloor, all of us alone together. Appropriately, where Weatherall’s last album Convenanza was largely expansive and vocal-led, Qualia is more insular and instrumental. Over the last few years, the DJ-producer has been proselytising for slower, lower dance music, but this set goes

• Four Tet: New Energy review – hardly true to the title

  01-10-2017 08:59
  (Text)There are those for whom Kieran Hebden’s drift towards the dancefloor is something to lament, and those for whom it was an unexpected flash of excitement in the subtle folktronica master’s largely super-chilled career. But even for the latter camp, there is a growing suspicion that he’s now best experienced live; this ninth album has the expansive, wandering pleasantness of a self-release unbothered by PR hurly-burly. What it doesn’t have is a great deal of tracks t

  In an extract from his new biography, rock writer Anthony DeCurtis reflects on the icon he knew personally and delves into the making of his 1973 solo album Berlin and his encounter with Czech president – and fan – Václav Havel“People always say to me, ‘Why don’t you get along with critics?’” Lou Reed told me one night in 2012. “I tell them, ‘I get along fine with Anthony DeCurtis.’ Shuts them right up.” We were sitting in
