Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

Sia  Reasonable Woman

There is always part of me that will search for the rawness, individuality and quirk-pop oddities of her early work The Arts Desk

Sia  Reasonable Woman

The Australian hitmaker reaches for moments of brilliance on her 10th studio album. But too often it plays like generic inspiration The Guardian

Sia  Reasonable Woman

Her first album in three years, Reasonable Woman, is also solid, a return to the aesthetic mean that works more than it doesn’t. None of the singles released from it so far have been hits, but they’re all resolutely competent examples of Sia’s knack for sweeping, feelings-heavy glitz Rolling Stone

Sia  Reasonable Woman

The Australian star’s latest is full of soaring pop anthems which are easy to sing along to, and proof that she can still hit the high marks musicOMH

Sia  Reasonable Woman

After nearly a decade of varying output and an uncertain direction, Reasonable Woman gets Sia back on track, joining Fear and Acting as one of the most compelling and listenable efforts in her post-breakthrough catalog - a huge relief for anyone who thought she had lost her touch All Music

Nina Nastasia  Riderless Horse

Her first album in three years, Reasonable Woman, is also solid, a return to the aesthetic mean that works more than it doesn’t. None of the singles released from it so far have been hits, but they’re all resolutely competent examples of Sia’s knack for sweeping, feelings-heavy glitz Rolling Stone

Camera Obscura  Look to the East, Look to the West

Eleven years since their last album and nine since keyboardist Carey Lander’s death, the beloved Scottish indie-poppers return with an appealing balance of fond memories and fresh energy Pitchfork

The Lemon Twigs  A Dream Is All We Know

It’s not quite their Revolver, but who’s to say they won’t be releasing their very own Sgt Pepper by the time the year’s out? musicOMH

Mdou Moctar  Funeral For Justice

This may be the best of an already-excellent run of albums, produced by the greatest rock band in the world musicOMH

Kamasi Washington  Fearless Movement

This feels like a fearless artistic movement if ever I heard one Clash

Rachel Chinouriri  What A Devastating Turn Of Events

After a string of EPs, Chinouriri arrives at her first full-length with confidence and ease. Devastation has never sounded so fun The Line Of Best Fit

Rachel Chinouriri  What A Devastating Turn Of Events
