Rip It Up

Orange Juice

4/5

Classic 80s sound in parts but I was surprised that some of this album felt really fresh and unique. Definitely would listen again.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Good folk but not standout or memorable for me I fear

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

I've never listened to this in full before and though there are def parts not appropriate for the cafe (a la experimental piano break), there's complexity and catchiness aplenty on this album which means I'll be back for sure. Even better on the 2nd and 3rd listen which is fun!

Adele

5/5

This album, for me, is her best. It makes me remember how much I love to sing! Production is kind of flawless - the recognition that Adele's voice pierces through really grand and dramatic production but performs equally well (if not better) with a stripped back and simple instrumental! I love it!!

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Some bangers but feels very of the time it was made

Sunshine Hit Me

The Bees

Variation of vibes on this album with some songs I would defo go back to (those on the chiller side). Not quite mind-blowing, but a fun listen
