Two years on from the release of his Mercury nominated debut album ‘Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam’, Ghostpoet releases his second studio album ‘Some Say I So I Say Light’.

Moving in a more experimental direction, the album pits industrial beats against sonorous piano lines - topped by Ghostpoet’s hypnotising voice sounding “like a man old before his time”. Ghostpoet is the master of creating poetry from mundane situations – from the disarmingly honest ‘Meltdown’ about a relationship where the couples simply drift apart, to ruminations on dim sum and noodles on ‘MSI musmiD’.

Noah and the Whale release their fourth studio album today, ‘Heart of Nowhere’. The album opens with an instrumental, string-led burst of sound, before the brazen pop of the title track kicks in, featuring vocals from Anna Calvi. ‘Lifetime’ is full of a yearning for the past, inspired by the feeling of seeing your friends get married, whilst ‘There Will Come a Time’ explores another of the album’s major themes – friendship.

The Undertones' self-titled debut album was recorded at Eden Studios in London in early 1979 and released in May that year.

A re-released version of the album was issued in October 1979 including their classic hits: 'Teenage Kicks' and 'Get Over You' alongside both 'Jimmy Jimmy' and a single version of 'Here Comes The Summer'. The album is still considered to be one of the great punk/new wave albums of all time, and was described by AllMusic Guide as "a perfect album."

The Ivor Novello nominations were announced yesterday, with several UMP artists and writers nominated - including Coldplay, Plan B and Olly Murs.

Two years after his eponymous debut album, James Blake returns with his second LP ‘Overgrown’. The album sees James moving way beyond any post-dubstep pigeonholes to include stunning reinterpretations of both hip-hop and house. “Instinctively I’ve gravitated towards wanting to make music that people will really remember and love” he says. “It’s an emotional impact I’m looking for.”
