James Blake’s second album, Overgrown, is not only better than his first, “it’s A MILLION TIMES BETTER” says Little Bastard, who is no stranger to hyperbole.

Ghostpoet’s follow up to his Mercury Prize nominated debut is more of the same but with more bite.

Marcus Reeves finds the Man Band singing polished pop, with a touch of syrup.

“Despite three decades in the business, NKOTB are still firmly entrenched in the ‘together forever’ school of rhyme. You won’t find any Antony Hegarty style monologues on the moon or menstruation here, but that’s not what you’d expect or want from Boston’s best.”
