Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

Dave  The Boy Who Played the Harp

Returning with his first album in four years, the arena-filling UK rapper is still such a smart, sharp lyricist as he explores a series of existential crises The Guardian

Dave  The Boy Who Played the Harp

This is a staggeringly powerful record. Continually evading easy descriptors, Dave pushes his art to higher levels Clash

Demi Lovato  It’s Not That Deep

Whether she’s sticking her neck out into newer territory or playing faithful to her roots, one thing’s clear: Lovato’s at her best when it comes easy Clash

Tortoise  TOUCH

Touch reflects the curiosity that has driven Tortoise since the beginning -- and still drives them all these years later All Music

Lily Allen  West End Girl

A hard-hitting pop exposition, it frequently feels daring, while also providing an endless supply of hooks. ‘West End Girl’ finds Lily Allen at the centre of a romantic implosion, making imposing shapes out of the rubble Clash

The Antlers   Blight

The group’s seventh album simmers with dread about environmental catastrophe, which is addressed both sincerely and tediously Pitchfork

Lily Allen  West End Girl

West End Girl is not only an example of pop brilliance, but also incredibly vulnerable, raw and honest, true to Allen’s form. Simply, the pop pioneer has created the break-up album for the modern generation The Line Of Best Fit

Demi Lovato  It’s Not That Deep

This is very much post-Brat pop The Arts Desk

Demi Lovato  It’s Not That Deep

Clocking in at just over half an hour, the album doesn’t leave a lot of room for error Slant Magazine

Demi Lovato  It’s Not That Deep

If the hooks and vocal commitment feel so steel-cored, it’s perhaps because the pop star is hanging onto them for dear life The Independent

Demi Lovato  It’s Not That Deep

It delivers successfully on its objective to keep things light and easy while dancing the night away. It’s not that deep, but it might just be Lovato’s best effort yet The Line Of Best Fit

Demi Lovato  It’s Not That Deep

Feels like a homecoming to her electronic-pop roots Rolling Stone

Zara Larsson  Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun is merely an attempt at a sultry summer pop album, released about two months too late, that misses every shot it takes Spectrum Culture

Lily Allen  West End Girl

A vicious, vulnerable and victorious comeback NME

Bar Italia  Some Like It Hot

The UK band’s fifth record lays bare a blundering sound that dulls what made some of their previous material compelling Paste Magazine
