• Hype-THE BEST NEW NAMES, FIRST Upset-DORK'S HOME FOR ALL THINGS LOUD | Album ReviewEssential Charli plays to her strengths on ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ and cuts straight through the fluff. Charli xcx has, really, always been a rock star. Sure, she’s the life of the party, but she’s also relentlessly defiant and has more often than not refused to compromise on her artistry.

Hype-THE BEST NEW NAMES, FIRST Upset-DORK'S HOME FOR ALL THINGS LOUD Live Review Above all, the ‘LUX’ tour is powered by emotion. Rosalía’s ’LUX’ asks for little more than devotion. The hour-long album, sung in thirteen languages and inspired by as many different saints, is no background listen; it’s a visceral, all-encompassing experience that commands attention, making its only request easy to abide by. The supporting tour, landing in the UK with two nights at The O2, is a similar rollercoaster.
