  3. 8.0 |   Q

    It's practically impossible not to fall just a little bit in love with both the singer and her beautifully fragile music. Print edition only

  4. 7.5 |   The AU Review

    While not exactly the most up-beat record, there are parts that show Julia moving into unfamiliar territory

  5. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Understated, dreamy second album by Ausie chanteuse. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   Mojo

    This Aussie singer's impossibly kittenish, cooing voice sounds custom-made for soundtracking car adverts. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It is certainly a grower, a firm example of Stone’s mass appeal and ability to stand alone as solo artist

  8. 6.0 |   BBC

    The elephant in the room is an absent one: By the Horns misses Angus’ gruffer harmonies offsetting Julia’s wide-open heart

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
