Royal Blood - Back to the Water Below
A record that divided the fans of the British duo into two camps. Some are disappointed by the slowing down of the tempo and the wider range of genres, plus due to the self-production, there is a lack of distance that would bind the record as a whole. But the second group of fans, on the other hand, appreciates the significant shift, darker motifs in the lyrics and music, the variety, thanks to which there is always something happening on the record and the band can include practically every song in a permanent concert setlist. An authorally distinctive record, where the need to convey something has more weight than pondering what the listeners will think about it. That's the way it's supposed to be.
Ed Sheeran – Autumn Varialio
A special album. In terms of content, it's not a miracle, but it still deserves to be recommended. One of the biggest stars of global show business, Ed Sheeran, is undergoing a transformation here. He has abandoned naming his records with mathematical signs and is not pushing his typical expression, which has managed to sell even really weak singles, to the limit. Instead, he returns to a more coherent songwriting form, as if he were about to go busking again. The production by Aaron Dessner from The National also does a lot. This guy can add value to even superficial pop. Sheeran knows this and on Autumn Variations started working on it, but the bread will break at the next plate.
