This week\u2019s recommended releases start with the beautiful jazz voice of Gregory Porter<\/strong>, whose Nat King Cole & Me<\/em><\/strong> is a deeply personal tribute to the legendary crooner who ignited Gregory\u2019s love of music. Twenty years after they first broke through with their debut, Stereophonics<\/strong> bring us their tenth studio album, Scream Above The Sounds<\/em><\/strong>; let\u2019s see if it performs as well as their last, which went straight to number 1 on release in 2015. Joe Henry<\/strong>\u2019s gift for sparse, lovely Americana-tinged songs is front-and-centre on his latest album, Thrum<\/em><\/strong>, whose songs are languidly paced, rooted in a slower time when bluesmen rambled country roads and made deals with the devil to become artistic greats. Baxter Dury<\/strong>\u2019s fifth album, Prince Of Tears<\/em><\/strong>, has the same shabby chic vibe you associate with Dury, including spare, snappy arrangements that pull from Studio 1 reggae and Baxter\u2019s dad\u2019s band \u2026 but the strings really add swoon to the proceedings, and Baxter\u2019s ability to paint a lyrical picture remains sharp. Weezer<\/strong>\u2019s eleventh studio album, Pacific Dream<\/em><\/strong>, is full of the melodic mastery and craftsmanship for which they are known, and navigates the uncertainty between reality and dreams, leaving the listener unsure whether they\u2019re daydreaming the world of the album or being daydreamed by it! During an impressive career the award-winning Scottish singer Julie Fowlis<\/strong> has, until now, sung primarily in Scottish Gaelic, but the Latin title of her fifth studio album, alterum<\/em><\/strong>, suggests that this record will be something different. And last but by no means least, Courtney Pine<\/strong> releases his brand new album, Black Notes From The Deep<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the nineteenth of his career, and one of his most varied and eclectic to date, ranging as it does from funk-tinged foot-tappers to beautiful, tender ballads.<\/p>\n

Our album of the week is Julien Baker<\/strong>\u2019s haunting Turn Out The Lights<\/em><\/strong>, a deeply empathetic album that embraces the greys and complex truths of humanity and mental health and deserves to be heard by a wide audience.<\/p>\n
