But his solo tour has been a place for fans – and him – to process their griefThe last time Mike Shinoda played Reading and Leeds festival it was 2003 – circa Von Dutch caps, wallet chains and buzz cut-era Britney ­– and his band, nu-metal titans Linkin Park, were headlining. “I remember the show pretty distinctly,” he says, “because it was the most rugged-looking fest I’d ever seen. Back then,

• Why Kanye West and Nicki Minaj are hooked on tampering with their finished albums

  24-08-2018 13:59
  In the age of streaming, an artist can endlessly tweak their masterpieces – but where does it end?It has only been a couple of weeks since Nicki Minaj released her album Queen. You would think she’d be happy with the end result given she’s had four years to tinker with it (48 months is basically three decades in Drake years). Not so: “Just listened to [opening track] #GangaBurns after a long day & realized that I hate how low I made the hook. Gotta get it swapped out,

• Neil and Liam Finn: Lightsleeper review – father and son pour out the melodies

  24-08-2018 11:30
  (Inertia/PIAS)One couldn’t accuse Neil Finn of indolence. Since Crowded House reunited in 2007, he’s managed two albums with them, one as half of Pajama Club with his wife Sharon, four solo albums, and now this, with his son. Oh, and he’s joined Fleetwood Mac. But with this rush of fiftysomething creativity has come a certain restlessness. Finn made his last solo album, Out of Silence, from four sessions in successive weeks, streamed live on Facebook, but this one has the feel

• Candi Staton: Unstoppable review – a soul survivor to cherish

  24-08-2018 11:00
  (Beracah/Thirty Tigers)With the death of Aretha Franklin, it’s time to cherish the soul legends that are still around – particularly those, like Candi Staton, who sound as energised as ever. Mark Nevers returns as her producer, adding a rhythm section made up of Staton’s sons Marcel and Marcus, and they smartly avoid twee retro backings. Opener Confidence struts with digital precision rather than analogue murk, as Staton channels James Brown’s surprised funk hollers, whil

• The Lemon Twigs: Go to School review – ambitious chimp-centred baroque rock musical

  24-08-2018 10:30
  (4AD)Oh how we laughed when these two teenage former child actors emerged from Long Island in 2016. Their garish soft-rock 70s jackets and mullets made them look like characters from a rejected sitcom. And yet, their acclaimed debut, Do Hollywood, revealed the sartorially idiosyncratic hipsters to be marvellous songwriters.Two years on, Michael and Brian D’Addario (now 19 and 21) have pushed the madcap envelope even further with this follow-up. Go to School is more theatrical and outlandis

• Blood Orange: Negro Swan review – mercurial, woke, choppy R&B

  24-08-2018 10:00
  (Domino)While Blood Orange is ostensibly a solo moniker for pop polymath Dev Hynes – his second after Lightspeed Champion’s mopey indie-pop – it has always represented more of a collective. Like 2016’s excellent Freetown Sound – a 17-track fusion of the personal and political, assisted by Carly Rae Jepsen and Debbie Harry – the sprawling Negro Swan, his fourth as Blood Orange, carries the loose-fitting feel of a mixtape. Throughout, guest vocalists bubble to t

• Jackie Oates: The Joy of Living review – an intensely personal folk gem

  24-08-2018 09:30
  (ECC Records)Folk songs are often about desperately sad ancient stories, but occasionally they are about newer experiences. In January 2016, Jackie Oates had her first baby, Rosie, amid complications: both mother and child contracted sepsis in hospital. Simultaneously, Oates’ beloved father, a man who steeped his family in folk music culture, became suddenly ill, and died of the same condition five days later. Jackie and Rosie got better. Few album titles have had such immediate resonance.
