• Justine Skye: Ultraviolet review – sexually complex but forgettable R&B

  19-01-2018 11:00
  (Universal)Beginning with a bout of big, boisterous pop songs, Justine Skye’s debut initially positions her as a possible heir to Rihanna. Rasping basslines and thrusting dancehall rhythms pepper the opening numbers, while the excellent Goodlove sees Skye dance gamely between silken R&B and her best Migos impression. This fusion of velvety vocals and chirrupy call-and-response trap suggests an unselfconsciousness that the rest of Ultraviolet never comes close to living up to. All too s

• The Shins: The Worm's Heart review – country charm turned spiky rock – and vice versa

  19-01-2018 10:45
  (Aural Apothecary/Columbia) A little under a year ago, James Mercer released the fifth Shins album, Heartworms. Now he’s released the same album, in a fashion he describes as “flipped” – that is, the running order is reversed, and every song is in a different style to the original. By and large, the top-line melody remains intact, but everything else – instrumentation, tempo – is altered. It’s neither better nor worse than Heartworms – which itself

• Fall Out Boy: Mania review – songs to appal and appease the hardcore

  19-01-2018 10:30
  (Island)Many a band has stumbled trying to take a cult following with them into the uber-mainstream. However, since re-forming in 2013, Fall Out Boy have edged further away from their emo/pop-punk roots while continuing to top the US charts. Yet last year’s single Young and Menace – a venture into EDM that referenced Britney Spears’s Oops! … I Did It Again – misfired so badly that Mania was hastily rerecorded.Continue reading...

• Porches: The House review – beguiling, flawed dance-warmed pop

  19-01-2018 10:15
  (Domino)Despite having graduated from dirge-like indie to downbeat but danceable synthpop over the course of their first two albums, Porches (otherwise known as singular New Yorker Aaron Maine) don’t change tack again on their third. Instead, The House doubles down on Maine’s previous fusion of dance music and languid crooning, weaving house flavours into a record that can feel emotionally one-note, but sonically beguiling. Refreshingly, Maine largely eschews the increasingly weariso

That they were able to flourish speaks volumes for both their determination to make their initial success only a starting point, and the quality of their songwriting, in which there is no diminution on their fourth album.
