Albums

Charli XCX – Brat
Out 7 June
Having distanced herself from the mainstream pop experiment that was 2022’s Crash,
Charli XCX heads back to the club. Expect sweaty, syncopated bangers about life,
hedonism and the giddy thrill of dissecting all the drama of the night before. JW

Twenty One Pilots – Clancy
Out 24 May
If a new Billie Eilish album (Hit Me Hard and Soft) isn’t enough emo-pop excitement
for May, US alt-rock duo Twenty One Pilots also return with their seventh album,
promising more of the kind of unpredictable melodies and bat-signal storytelling
recently teased on the singles Overcompensate and Next Semester. JW

Remi Wolf – Big Ideas
Out 12 July
Fresh from supporting fellow Californian Olivia Rodrigo, Remi Wolf stretches her love
of elastic funk and soul on a DayGlo odyssey that reminds the listener that great pop
music is often just about letting loose, having fun and dancing like nobody’s
watching. JW

Yannis & the Yaw – Lagos Paris London
Out 30 August
Formed out of sessions with Fela Kuti’s late, great drummer Tony Allen, this is Yannis
Philappakis’s first collaborative project outside Foals. Percussion naturally takes centre
