  1. 8.0 |   Q

    There's reason to think Hot Natured's well-assembled, commercial dancefloor pop will find favour. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Beautifully drawn synths, sunshine grooves and silky minimal twists to the fore

  3. 6.0 |   NME

    An album that lacks the huge chorus it badly needs

  4. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Hot Natured have far from stretched themselves. They have gone the way of many a supergroup before them; too much laurel-resting and too little innovation

  5. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    There's a relaxed charm to these songs, making that old phrase "blissed out" feel comprehensible again. The feeling dissipates, though: over the course of a mammoth 15 tracks, the music retires and slips into something more indistinct

  6. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    There’s plenty of personality in their warm grooves

  7. 6.0 |   The 405

    The production is solid, as you would expect from a collective filled with such big names, but there's just not much new or exciting here to really make a big splash

Kesha  . [Period]

Spectacular serves sit alongside catharsis and contemplation on the pop star’s first release on her own label, Kesha Records NME

Loyle Carner  hopefully!

Though vastly different from its predecessors, in a way, ‘hopefully !’ feels like a celebration of an intrinsically Loyle Carner quality Dork

Pulp  More

It’s classic Pulp: gloriously awkward, sharply observed, and still dancing proudly to its own weird rhythm. We’ve missed them. They’re back. More, please Dork
