Favourite Track: Major Threat
For Fans Of: Pertubator / Dan Terminus / Gunship

Anna
Gorillaz - The Mountain

Written during a period of grief for both Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewitt, and recorded in India, The Mountain is a meditation on memory, life and death. With a treasure trove of guest appearances from artists both dead and alive (Mark E Smith, Tony Allen, Joe Talbot, Gruff Rhys etc) It still bangs in places, but is an otherwise more sombre effort for the ninth Gorillaz album. An impressive effort all the same.
Favourite Track: The God Of Lying
For Fans Of:  Kid Kapichi / Yin Yin / Lime Garden

Jed
Bruno Mars - The Romantic

This album could be one of my albums of the year easily!  It's fun, it's got atmosphere, a sprinkle of Latin vibes with 'Cha-Cha-Cha' it's baby making music!
It feels a like a bit of a follow up to silk sonic too!
Favourite Track: On My Soul
