    On “Mind, Body & Soul,” the then 17-year-old Joss Stone showcases remarkable maturity and musical versatility. The album ranges from powerful ballads like “Right to Be Wrong” to hit singles like “You Had Me” and funk-influenced tracks such as “Don’t Cha Wanna Ride” and the bluesy “Young at Heart.” Stone’s voice effortlessly captures the essence of each genre, making this album a compelling display of her vocal strength and artistic range.

    "Some Great Reward" is Depeche Mode at their peak, blending industrial grit with mainstream appeal—and it's still one of the best electronic albums out there! Sure, "People Are People" is on it, but the real gems are the moody piano ballad "Somebody," the fierce "Master and Servant" with its biting social commentary, and the dark, slow-build anthem "Blasphemous Rumors." Even the lesser-known tracks like "Lie to Me" and "It Doesn't Matter" shine. With Alan Wilder's spot-on arrangements and David Gahan’s voice finding its groove, this album is Depeche Mode at their boldest!

    Monday’s album marks a bold reinvention, blending her signature soul sound with vibrant Latin influences. The result is her most compelling work in years, featuring tight songwriting, jazzy grooves, and standout details like Dave Valentin’s Latin flute and warm vibraphone tones. Tracks like "Play It By Ear" and "Zurich Samba" showcase her artistic depth, making this album a standout. It’s a gem worth seeking out.

    On this album, the comparison with Björk is made easy, especially with „Fingertips“ and „Tuna Fish“. But to be honest, Emiliana sings more beautifully. Especially „Telepathy“ surprised me a lot. The production by Roland Orzabal (Tears for Fears) is well noticeable. Beautiful album, intriguing singer.
