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

Graham Coxon  Castle Park

Blur guitarist's 'lost' ninth solo album mixes a strong '60s aesthetic with some interesting stylistic tangents musicOMH

Olivia Rodrigo  You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love

Aside from a few unmemorable ballads —the sparse, piano-led “Less” is an exception late on the album — Rodrigo deftly navigates the difficult task of regaining her sense of wholeness when not everything in her life has to make the most sense No Ripcord

The Rolling Stones  Foreign Tongues

More guitar-centric and holistically Stones-y than their last outing, the latest from the World’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band is built to satisfy Rolling Stone

Lizzo  Bitch

This is just one for the completists (which in an age of streaming may not be many) God Is In The TV

Olivia Rodrigo  You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love

For all its standout moments, the album’s greatest achievement is not any single song, but what emerges when the album is experienced as a whole God Is In The TV

Lizzo  Bitch

Lizzo's fifth record is definitely her weakest to date and won't please fans who have waited four years to hear the next stage of the singer's journey Spectrum Culture

Genesis Owusu  Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge

Some may not enjoy REDSTAR WU, either because of its grim worldview or for its lack of cohesion, but you can never accuse Owusu of playing it safe. Those who respond well to it will likely find the record incredibly daring in a way that he’s been perfecting for years Spectrum Culture

Graham Coxon  Castle Park

Pure and simple pop from the Blur guitarist shines with his best NME

Graham Coxon  Castle Park

It’s a rare delight to hear him back in the driving seat DIY

Olivia Rodrigo  You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love

All 13 songs here are memorable, there’s not a single skip, and with each spin, they become more personal and emotive to the listener Beats Per Minute

Olivia Rodrigo  You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love

A mainstream blockbuster with the patience of a cult classic Dork

Violet Grohl  Be Sweet To Me

You can hear the ambition in every corner; it just arrives a little too polished Dork

The Rolling Stones  Foreign Tongues

The new Rolling Stones album is freewheeling, frisky and fabulous. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood make growing old sound like the best fun ever The Irish Times

Olivia Rodrigo  You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love

In the end, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love snarls with tension, vulnerability and biting honesty. Holding your gaze and forcing you to watch is Olivia Rodrigo at her most raw, unfiltered and unaffected Hot Press
