ALBUM

Gigi Lamayne — VI EP

Lenasia rapper Lamayne shows off her rhyming skills on this marvellous six-track EP that’s smooth, edgy and brimming with confidence and attitude. She really should be a bigger star than she is.

The National — Boxer (Live in Brussels)

I haven’t yet seen The National live, and it’s nice to catch a glimpse with this album. Matt Berninger’s voice crackles more than on mp3 and a horn section adds drama on this version of the band’s incredible 2007 album.
