Matt Pokora sort son dixième album, Adrénaline. L’icône de la pop française a créé 12 chansons faites pour vous. Reflet, pour vos chagrins d’amour. « Jeu de regards », pour l’inviter à danser. « Suis-moi je te fuis », si c’est compliqué. Ou encore « Tour du monde » (feat Ronisia), pour chanter vos meilleurs duos. De la POP majuscule, pour faire monter l’adrénaline.

The Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F. is hailed as one of the classic punk albums. Formed by New York Dolls Thunders and Jerry Nolan in 1975 they influenced the UK punk scene, joining the Sex Pistols, Damned & Clash on the infamous "Anarchy" tour. L.A.M.F. was released on Track Records in 1977 to much acclaim, but was marred by a muddy sound. In 1994 Jungle found long-lost original mud-free sessions and re-compiled the album. This edition of L.A.M.F. was amended with a bonus disc featuring studio outtakes, rehearsals and early demos. The studio rehearsals include the original instrumental backing tracks with studio chat, plus alternative 1977 mixes from different studios, and two demo sessions from early and late 1977.

What a rare treat to get a second album from I'm With Her, the folky supergroup of Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan and Sara Watkins—who all have thriving, busy careers as recording and touring musicians. It's been seven years since the trio's excellent See You Around, and Wild and Clear and Blue was worth the wait. In fact, it might even top their debut. Opener "Ancient Light" gets right under your skin, with Jarosz taking the vocal lead before the others join in to harmonize and trade verses. Watkins' fiddle is pleasantly sharp, and the song's spirit evokes moody '90s-style folk—the era of Indigo Girls and Sarah McLachlan—but also the otherworldly vocal blending of the McGarrigle Sisters.

M. John Henry is the solo guise of Martin John Henry, frontman of the much loved and missed Scottish indie band, De Rosa. De Rosa released a slew of cult albums before splitting in 2021. Henry returns in 2025 with 'Strange Is The Way' - a new solo album of mysterious and personal songs set to a distinctly Scottish approach to classic folk rock and slowcore guitars.

The Best of R.E.M. is a greatest hits album by R.E.M. released in 1991, shortly after the success of the band's seventh studio album, Out of Time, released by Warner Bros. The Best of R.E.M., however, was released by the band's previous record label, I.R.S. Records, and only includes tracks from their first five albums while the group was with that label. As such, it covers their output from 1982 to 1987. The Best of R.E.M. was only issued in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and Brazil, complete with liner notes from Remarks: The Story of R.E.M. by Tony Fletcher (a domestic American greatest hits album had been released prior with a very similar track list titled Eponymous). It has no alternate mixes (unlike Eponymous); all the songs are the album versions. Three songs were taken from each of the first five studio albums and one song was taken from Chronic Town, the band's first EP, making a total of sixteen songs on the album.
