This Week's Releases

Kings Of Leon - Mechanical Bull (RCA/Sony)

The huge fanbase of Kings Of Leon will be divided by this, their sixth studio album. You've got plenty of the pop/rock numbers that have seen the masses fall in love with them plus a heavy alternative/indie influence that is a throwback to the band's roots.

Adalita - All Day Venus (Liberation)

We've been lucky enough to have a few behind-the-scenes sneak peaks at the making of Adalita Srsen's second solo effort but now, the LP is finally ready for release. On this, we find the singer-songwriter who truly feels at home. The force of this album is unstoppable.

The Bloody Beetroots - Hide (Hussle/Ministry Of Sound)

The sophomore album from Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo kinda plays out a little like Daft Punk's Random Access Memories – basically it features a stack of collabs. From Paul McCartney to Tommy Lee, there are plenty of interesting names to match the stadium-sized beats that will surely cause mayhem and damage on the dance floor.
