Hi music lovers, we're back, this time we have checked out the most talked about albums and singles so far in 2018. It's been a great year already and there's a lot to look forward to in the music world. Arctic Monkeys just dropped their new album and we've all heard singles that Kamasi Washington and Florence + The Machine released upon us. So exciting. Let's dive in and see what's going on.

Let's start with the hottest single at the moment, Childish Gambino's "This is America", a single that skyrocketed on the internet with a thought-provoking video and went straight to number 1 in its first week. The single is a tease into a release of Donald Glover's alter-ego Childish Gambino's so said final album. We are definitely excited about what he has in store for us. Earlier this year a highly anticipated new Jack White album was released, titled Boarding house reach, this makes it a third solo album by Jack White, 4 years after the release of Lazaretto. Our thoughts? It's interesting, it's different, it's Jack White. Definitely, an album to listen to and shape your own opinion. It received mixed reviews and it certainly is different, it includes a wide range of different styles including trip-hop, prog-rock and country. We like it for its peculiarity, you should give it a go. 

Moving into jazzy waters, Kamasi Washington released two singles in preparation for the launch of his new album Heaven and Earth. The space travellers lullaby and Fists of fury are both huge singles indicating an amazing new album by the modern jazz great, Kamasi Washington. The release date is set on 22nd of June and we can't wait to hear it. A soul singer Leon Bridges introduced his second album earlier this year and it's more adventurous than his first. Neo-soul, jazz elements and great songwriting mark the album "Good Thing" and it definitely is a good thing, expressed best in the song "If it feels good (then it must be)".

Florence + The Machine released an amazing single called "Hunger" in the anticipation of the new album, due to release on 29th of June. Not far from the Florence + The Machine we all know and love, Hunger, which followed a single released earlier this year "Sky full of songs" promises a great album. 

Finally, Arctic Monkeys released their sixth album - "Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino" and it sparked quite a reaction. Not sure, if the reaction was the one they expected, but the band has evolved and brought new sound following their last album "AM". It does have an added tranquillity to it and in our opinion is a great album, different and has one can tell it has a lot of work and thought put into it, transporting you into a relaxed state with songs like "Four out of five". It might take a while to grow on people, but it does grow on you. Have a listen and you'll see. 

That's all folks. There are many other great albums that have been launched or are being expected this year and we'll get back to those in the future posts. 

Hope you enjoyed the read, until next time.
