While on 2022’s ‘Subject To Change’ it felt like Kelsea Ballerini was pulling her punches, the following year’s ‘Rolling Up The Welcome Mat’ EP found the country-popper hit the reset button with a right hook. Stepping off the genre’s customary carousel of songwriters by choosing to write and produce solely with Alysa Vanderheym, Ballerini channelled a divorce-sized stack of feelings into six stripped-back numbers.

On ‘Evergreen’, Sophie Allison takes us back to the start. The singer-songwriter has been making music under the name Soccer Mommy since she was 17 and first began uploading her home-recorded songs to Bandcamp. In the years that have followed she’s become known for her dreamy, shoegazey sound and sentimental lyrics, but here she trades indie-rock bite in for a stripped-back sound akin to her lo-fi early days.

Since forming in 1987 Underworld have helped redefine British electronic music with a style that is hard to put your finger on but familiar and easy to get lost in. ‘Strawberry Hotel’ is their 11th studio album and their first since 2019 and, with 15 tracks spanning close to 70 minutes, it is another highly ambitious project that shows the duo of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have no intention of slowing down anytime soon.

Dave Chappelle (pictured) and Killer Mike have announced two UK shows for the winter.

Laura Marling’s no longer playing house. On 2020’s ‘Song For Our Daughter’,  the singer-songwriter made the transition into starkly sparse arrangements as she wrote guidance for a fictional daughter. Its follow up, ‘Patterns In Repeat’ follows its title’s lead — delving into motherhood again, but for real this time. Despite pulling zero punches, it still offers the warmth of a winter morning’s freshly roasted coffee.
