    Ellie Goulding's sixth album — a pop record about the tension between knowledge and uncertainty, written as a form of musical therapy during a period of personal transition. Lead single 'Black Prada Dress' debuted live alongside Jools Holland.

  2. Prima by Adéla
    7.5

    The debut album from Slovakia's ADÉLA, executive-produced by 100 Gecs' Dylan Brady and Blake Slatkin. 'Prima' means 'first' — she's aiming to be the prima ballerina of pop — with singles 'KGB', 'Red Bottoms' and 'Ain't In LA' leading the charge.

  3. Blood of Your Empire by PRESIDENT
    6.0

    The highly anticipated debut from anonymous British metal band PRESIDENT — existential crisis and humanity's complicated relationship with faith. Hype built from zero songs and one overflowing Download Festival tent.

  4. Round Again by KEROLAJN

    The Czech singer's second single pivots away from her house-inspired debut toward a much slower, more emotional ballad — proof she's got more than one gear.

  5. Who Loves the Sun by Chat Pile

    Chat Pile's third full-length via The Flenser — societal decay and the precariousness of modern work, punctuated by the punishing lead single 'PEN I S MALL'. Reportedly heavy enough to give vocalist Raygun Busch a headache in the studio.

  6. Act III by Kasabian
    6.0

    Kasabian's ninth album: guitar-driven indie rock meets electronic production, exploring imposter syndrome under Serge Pizzorno's confident leadership. Ten main tracks plus three interludes.

  7. Happier Now by Movements
    10.0

    Movements' fourth album, produced by Grammy-winner Will Yip — the band's early dissonant sound fused with the melodic flourishes of RUCKUS!. Lead single 'Dissolve Me' was the first song written and is vocalist Patrick Miranda's confession about his own social behaviors.

  8. Age of the Exhibitionist by Rebecca Black

    Rebecca Black's self-released sophomore album, led by 'Speakerphone' and 'Hot Wet Delirious' — an exploration of what's real and fake in the modern era, arriving 15 years after 'Friday'.

  9. Wounded Angel by Elley Duhé

    Elley Duhé's second album on her own Not Fit for Society label — 14 tracks on love, forgiveness, faith and loss, described as her most personal music to date.
