This beautifully curated collection spans the Bee Gees' remarkable career. Selected by co-founder Barry Gibb and released on limited clear & translucent blue vinyl, this set is a celebration of the trio's enduring legacy, featuring 21 of their most iconic tracks in chronological order. The compilation opens with the early hit 'Spicks and Specks' (1966), showcasing their early Australian success, before transitioning into timeless classics like 'To Love Somebody' and 'Massachusetts'. The Bee Gees' evolution into disco legends is marked by the infectious energy of 'Stayin' Alive', 'Night Fever' and 'How Deep Is Your Love' from Saturday Night Fever, tracks that became cultural anthems in the late 70s. The album also features later gems like 'Too Much Heaven' and 'Tragedy', which highlight their ability to blend lush harmonies with catchy hooks. Closing with the 1987 hit 'You Win Again', this compilation reinforces their musical brilliance, even in their later years. Barry Gibb's personal touch in the song selection adds a layer of intimacy and nostalgia to the album. A fitting tribute to this legendary trio.

Review: Alligator Bites Never Heal sees Doechii at her most introspective and ambitious, a 19-track mixtape (and now LP) where vulnerability takes centre stage. Departing from her club-ready bangers she explores raw themes of loss, pressure and self-worth. Opener 'Stanka Pooh' dives deep into spiralling anxieties but Doechii's wit keeps things balanced as she snaps back with her signature humour. Tracks like 'Bullfrog' and 'Nissan Altima' are drenched in Tampa's humid, swampy vibes while moments like 'Bloom' and 'Beverly Hills' highlight her melodic strengths. Navigating between raunchy bravado and emotional honesty, Doechii proves she's an artist defying any box.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails have been called into help with the production, as well as some film score composers, on the fourth album by Halsey. The American singer-songwriter and general artistic polymath deals in powerful, emotive pop with driving guitar riffs and big walls of scuzzy sound. They are always evolving and innovating within that framework and this record comes on the heels of their US Billboard No.1 LP 'Manic'. Away from music, Halsey recently introduced a multi-dimensional makeup line for made for everyone and uses her voice to speak up for disenfranchised youth, women's rights, mental health and the LGBTQ community.
