• Ravyn Lenae review – neo-soul star still finding her way to the top

  04-05-2018 14:25
  Heaven, London
  The teenage diva energised the crowd with her strongest material, but didn’t tap into the vulnerability she has on recordFashionably punctual, Ravyn Lenae floats on stage at 9pm on the dot. It’s the Chicago neo-soul singer’s first European show, but the set-up is surprisingly advanced. Her name glistens on screen in a retro font as her four-piece band start up, and she appears, as glammed to the nines as her young, smitten crowd.A cool and almost mystical teenage

• Jon Hopkins: Singularity review – well-crafted techno is oh so shallow

  04-05-2018 11:30
  (Domino)Written amid calculated mind expansion, via transcendental meditation and naturally occurring psychedelics, Jon Hopkins, the Mercury-nominated producer who has credits with Brian Eno and Coldplay, hones his exploratory take on HD electronics on this smoothly sequenced trip. The level of craft is extremely high. The way the beats on the two big techno numbers, Everything Connected and Emerald Rush, crunch and splinter to blur the quantization requires expert sound design, and the latter s

• Plan B: Heaven Before All Hell Breaks Loose review – Drew's fourth searches for template

  04-05-2018 11:00
  (679/Atlantic)Finally Ben Drew’s fourth album becomes actual rather than imminent: he was trailing it in the Guardian 11 months ago, when he was talking it up as an “art statement”, and he premiered much of it at a one-off London show last summer. The single In the Name of Man, released in May 2017, doesn’t appear on the album, and Heartbeat, which does, peaked at No 100 last autumn. All of which suggests what is euphemistically known as “a troubled gestation”

• Leon Bridges: Good Thing review – polished soul voice makes pop his own

  04-05-2018 10:30
  (Columbia)Who is Leon Bridges? The question trailed his acclaimed debut, 2015’s Coming Home – not least because he seemed to appear from nowhere: the Texan dishwasher-turned-singer whose music suddenly went viral. But it also felt like a criticism. Sure, he evoked golden-era Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but could Bridges create his own lane?Good Thing suggests that, yes, he could: gone is the fuzzy, old-timey veneer, replaced with invigorating polish from pop producer Ricky Reed (Jaso

• Eleanor Friedberger: Rebound review – deliciously droll electro pop

  04-05-2018 10:00
  (Frenchkiss) In 2016, Eleanor Friedberger spent a month in Athens, Greece, ending up in what the half-Greek American describes as an “80s goth disco” – called Rebound – where everyone did a solitary dance routine called the chicken dance. “I copied the slouchy strut,” she remembers, “swinging my arms in time to music that sounded like Joy Division but was probably a knock-off by an unknown Baltic band. It was alienating and exhilarating.” Two years

• The Left Outsides: All That Remains review – sweet psych-folk with lingering shadows

  04-05-2018 09:30
  (Cardinal Fuzz)Folk means different things to different people, especially in the lengthening, brightening days of spring. To traditional folk-lovers, it means the maypole and the morris, and the buoyant regional revivals they are enjoying. To people who flirt with folk’s alternative edges, it’s more about the rituals of nature, as drones and strings build in tension, as rain falls and birdsong calls.The Left Outsides are London-based husband and wife Alison Cotton and Mark Nicholas
