Fuse by Keith Urban

Yay, I loved this album. I don’t know why it’s taken my so long to listen to any Keith Urban, as his is the kind of country music I like. Somewhere In My Car is an absolute banger that I loved when it was over-played on the radio. And the rest of the album stacks up too, it’s great work from someone who isn’t a native Nashville.

Brilliant album, how could it not be with the remarkable Ryan Tedder? Pop royalty, catchy, sing along, impossible not to move to but equally emotional in places. Loved it.

I was worried about listening to this because Pompeii is such a storming tune, how can you expand on the brilliance of it? I needn’t have worried, the rest of the album is great too. Whilst it doesn’t quite match up to the opener, it’s still full of drums and drama, intriguing lyrics and the intensity to carry you through to the end.

Magna Carta... Holy Grail by Jay-Z

Good album, I love Jay-Z’s style and he’s surrounded himself with a good variety of guests here. The Justin Timberlake track is a stand out one for me, but otherwise I’m not sure this is a total classic. Quite a lot of Beyoncé squeezed in, too. Good listen overall.
