THE CLOCKWORKS
From Clashmusic.com:
The breathless opener ‘How To Exist’ takes off at a breakneck pace, as if lyricist James McGregor is banging his head off the wall. The lyrics replicate pacing the floor, this stream of consciousness implying a pent-up frustration. The rapid fire start to The Clockworks second album ‘The Entertainment’ ends abruptly with: “I’m looking for something to believe in”. It lays the groundwork for the rest of the album.
RAYE
This Music May Contain Hope
From Wikipedia:
Rachel Agatha Keen (born 24 October 1997), known professionally as Raye, is a British singer-songwriter and record producer. Lyrically focusing on her own struggles and contemporary issues, Raye's genre-blending music is influenced by jazz and incorporates pop, dance, R&B and soul.

CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Whitesnake - Whitesnake
From Wikipedia:
Whitesnake, commonly known as 1987, is the seventh studio album by English rock band Whitesnake. The album was released by Geffen Records in the US on 16 March 1987 and by EMI Records in the UK two weeks later.
1987 was a critical and commercial success around the world, eventually selling over 8 million copies in the US alone and thus being certified 8× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide. The album peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 for ten non-consecutive weeks and was barred from the top spot by U2's Joshua Tree. The album spent more weeks in the Top 5 than any other album in 1987. Whitesnake is the band's highest-charting album in the US and peaked at number eight on the UK Albums Chart.
