MICHAEL BUBLÉ MEETS MADISON SQUARE GARDEN by Michael Bublé
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: Jared Orlin
There’s no faulting Michael Bublé on his brand of old-school classics. This album, recorded at a Madison Square Garden concert, features 10 of his favourites songs, including Everything and Mr and Mrs Jones. The real highlight is the DVD of live performances, interviews and two extra songs. Fans will love it.
BATTLE FOR THE SUN by Placebo
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: Nici de Wet
This is the sixth studio album by the alternative rockers and signals a few changes since their last effort, Meds. The boys have moved to a new record label and have a new drummer; the result is a more radio-friendly, up-tempo album with enough grungy guitars and anguished lyrics from androgynous frontman
Brian Molko to satisfy fans.
LA ROUX by La Roux
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: Jared Orlin
If you haven’t yet heard of La Roux remember the name; you’re going to hear a lot more of this British electropop duo that burst onto the UK scene with the hit In For the Kill. They’re similar in sound to ’80s band The Human League and have some of Lily Allen’s spunk. But more than anything they remind you of Lady GaGa - with cleaner, less explicit lyrics.
