THIS WEEK’S CD RELEASES

Emmy The Great

April Out Friday ★★★★ A new album that feels like a relic from another age. EmmaLee Moss, a Londoner born in Hong Kong, has written a set of hymns to her birthplace, where she has recently lived. She takes this weighty subject and turns it into airy folk-pop that will have you humming along in the car.

Sade This Far Out Friday

Sade expects only one thing from her fans: patience. Since 2002, she has more honours to her name (an OBE, then a CBE) than new albums (one, released in 2010). To tide us over, here’s a box set of all six Sade LPs on heavyweight vinyl. They’re so calm that they may just see you through the next lockdown.
