Holiday blues delivered with a voice that pins you, in the
softest but most persuasive of ways, to the wall; a voice

style of his 1978 debut, which is more in keeping with the
classic Pink Floyd sound. Gilmour's trademark slow-tempo
delivery is thankfully intact and his voice is on fine form

As a piece of propaganda,
James Blunt’s album Back to Bedlam does more for
changing the face of the British Army than a series of
television adverts ever could. Swapping a rifle for a
guitar, the former cavalryman’s ballad-heavy debut is a

Kate Bush has tried to regain that lifetime....
