Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Rapper Mick Jenkins is a much-loved fixture in today's hip-hop landscape, but despite his credo, he shows hardly any signs of complacency. To the contrary; Jenkins says his latest LP The Patience reflects an uptick in thinking about the way he makes music - patiently. In contrast to earlier projects like Elephant In The Room, released in 2021, The Patience, in Jenkins' own words, reflects a newfound he recently found in the process - when he "stopped focusing on a concept and just wrote spontaneously to the beat". In an era where hip-hop increasingly becomes mired in concept, The Patience is a refreshing slice of high-art rap, bringing together upper-echelonic production, advanced flows, and nostalgic moods.

Review: Daniel Johns is a bonafide Australian rock powerhouse - with or without bandmates. The primary songwriter, guitarist and frontman of Silverchair, an outfit who among other things claim more ARIA Awards than any other name in the ceremony's history, he's also one half of acclaimed duo The Dissociatives with Paul Mac and shares a second partnership with Luke Steel on the Dreams project.

All that aside, his first solo album, 2015's Talk, reiterated his ability to turn hands to almost any musical style, packing his oeuvre with a range of great ideas. Futurenever is the second lone wolf LP, and backs up the idea that he's insanely talented and relentlessly restless. Across the 12 tracks, we're given great pop in the truest sense ('D4ngersboy', 'Someone Call An Ambulance', 'Freaknever'), huge symphonic R&B balladry ('When We Take Over'), sexy funk ('I Feel Electric'), and stadium emo rock ('Reclaim Your Heart').
