Jack Harlow is back and dropping his fourth album, Monica, on the day of his 28th birthday. Can he celebrate by beating his previous best position on the Official Albums Chart? That was a Number 4 debut for Come Home the Kids Miss You in 2022.
BRIT School graduate Eden Hunter is ready to introduce you to The Circus Man. On the EP, Eden explains: “The Circus Man EP is my acceptance of the obsession, passion and pain of being an artist trusting in the industry where everything can be romanticised, even the worst possible situations.
“In a sense that’s exactly what I’ve done, hand in hand with calling out the hard truths of losing who you are off the back of the wrong person being in a position of power. It’s playful, it’s guttural, it’s theatrical – it’s everything The Circus Man in my story ruined me for…everything I love about who I am.”
It’s a lucky number seventh studio album for James Blake, who drops Trying Times, his first full-length project since 2023.
