• What went thong? How Sisqo said ‘I do’ to pop narcissism

  28-09-2018 14:00
  When the singer performed a ‘lively rendition’ of his greatest hit at his own wedding, he joined a long line of artists who love the sound of their own voice a bit too muchPicture the scene: Sisqo, glowing with pride on his wedding day, fighting back tears of happiness. He stands up, taps his knife on his champagne glass, turns to his new wife and raises the microphone. And, right there, in front of their assembled guests and possibly the vicar who married them, he belts out “L

• Maluma review – Colombian heart-throb is more than a pretty face

  28-09-2018 12:55
  Wembley Arena
  He is potently handsome and bilingually flirtatious, but the Latin pop star’s rich, swooping tenor brings real spirit to his flashy hitsA man who needs no invitation to get his freak on, Maluma is forcefully waggling to Corazon, from current album FAME. His biceps strain the sleeves of his black suit, and his keening voice is made for this kind of steel-drum-accented romanticism. Glancing backward at the primarily female crowd, he finds several thousand phones recording his a

• Tim Hecker: Konoyo review – Japanese forms abstracted by ambient dystopias

  28-09-2018 11:30
  Kranky Having created his own particular aesthetic over nearly two decades – imagine an ambient dreamscape in the rain-soaked alley between a church and a nightclub – the Canadian composer Tim Hecker continues to hone and broaden it out. On his previous album he semi-abstracted an Icelandic choir; now he looks to Japan, collaborating with Tokyo Gakuso, a group who play traditional courtly gagaku music. Hecker takes their drums, chimes, and close, borderline discordant strings –

  At 85, Willie Nelson still spends half the year on the road and is busy supporting Texan Democrat nominee Beto O’Rourke. And the giant of country music’s 2,500 song catalogue just keeps growingIn the Boston suburb of Mansfield, Massachusetts, I am summoned to Willie Nelson’s tour bus a couple of hours before he takes to the stage at the Outlaw music festival.

• Cher: Dancing Queen review – ingenious Abba-dabbling

  28-09-2018 11:00
  Warner BrosAs Cher proved in her Mamma Mia: Her We Go Again! cameo, she need do very little to provoke squealing acclaim when it comes to Abba dabbling: merely descend from a helicopter in stately fashion and sing Fernando in that thrillingly ripe tone. But Dancing Queen, an album of Abba covers that could easily have sailed by like glitter on the breeze, is often surprisingly ingenious.Occasionally Cher uses her trademark Auto-Tune like a crutch – it’s a cop-out on One of Us –

• Amber Arcades: European Heartbreak review – wistful, glowing dream pop

  28-09-2018 10:30
  Heavenly Recordings Could there possibly be such a thing as a post-Brexit album before Britain has left the EU? European Heartbreak certainly has an elegiac, mournful feel as it casts an eye over the state of the continent and the union. The song Goodnight Europe even tackles the rise of populism and rightwing resurgence that has become a feature of more countries than the UK. Nobody is spared blame, even the singer herself. “Europe, it’s not you, I’m starting to think it&rsquo

• Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs: King of Cowards review – pulverising but accessible metal

  28-09-2018 10:00
  Rocket RecordingsPigsx7’s is a world of downtuned doom in which no riff is too monolithic, no chord progression too bludgeoning. They sound as if they should be caught between the conflicting urges to hit a massive bong or go out on choppers. In fact, they’re a perfectly unbikery-looking quintet from Newcastle upon Tyne, longtime participants in that city’s music scene (two of them play live with the brilliant Richard Dawson) who have suddenly and unexpectedly broken the surfac

• Liran Donin's 1000 Boats: 8 Songs review – seductive melodies and Led Bib thrash

  28-09-2018 09:30
  Cavalo RecordsIn 2009, a riotously style-scrambling band of former Middlesex University jazz students called Led Bib made a big impression at that year’s Mercury prize. Like all the other jazz contenders who have ever made the shortlist, they didn’t win, but the sax-hollering, rhythmically wilful quintet managed to announce that dance-rooted music could risk improvisation and deliver edgy instrumentals with a vocal-like expressiveness, and that jazz could reach a wider fanbase withou

• How Robyn transformed pop

  28-09-2018 07:00
  After almost a decade away, Robyn is about to release a new album. Laura Snapes examines her seismic cultural impactIn Ibiza, at the beginning of August, the Swedish pop icon Robyn was throwing a party at Pikes, the small, labyrinthine villa where Wham! filmed the video for Club Tropicana. Wearing her “purple rain” disco pants (one resplendent fringed leg, one bare) and wielding a glass of white wine, she snuck a song from her new album in between selections of South African jazz, Ne
