    Alongside Solange Knowles and Sky Ferreira, Charli XCX is one of a new breed of pop artists winning over indie-kids with a lethal combo of lo-fi tunes and looks. But where Solange exudes a breezy, girl-next-door charm and Sky oozes aloof, model/actress cool, Charli’s a lot more fun, coming over like the naughty girl in school who bunks off class to hang out behind the bike sheds. A good-time girl she may be, but the 20 year-old’s no pop puppet: she picked out Blood Diamonds, Ariel "Climax" Rechtshaid and Patrik "Dancing On My Own2 Berger to produce True Romance, personally selected the Gold Panda sample for "You (Ha Ha Ha)" and can claim song-writing credits on every single track. The upshot is a very strong debut, with the woozy, synth-pop of "Nuclear Seasons" and dark electro of "You’re The One" emerging as stand-outs.

    They might have a plethora of Grammy, Juno and Polaris Prize nominations to their name, but for Calgary’s Tegan and Sara Quin, turning 30 proved the true watershed moment in their careers. For the first time ever, the twins began writing collaboratively, decided to trade guitars for synths, and enlisted the services of Kelly Clarkson/Lily Allen-producer Greg Kurstin. The results are showcased on Heartthrob, an impressively hook-heavy and unapologetically accessible seventh studio album that may cause long-time fans to double-take. However, the faithful needn’t worry: there’s no shortage of beautifully-bittersweet love stories here, it’s just that this time round they’re cleverly concealed in an irresistibly-sugary pop shell.
