This week we dive head-first into the 4th LP from British indie darlings PALE WAVES: Smitten. Across our track-by-track, we discuss our long history with PW, the tenured quantity (and quality) of their output, and how this album stacks against their others.

ALSO discussed: CHARLI XCX & TROYE SIVAN's Sweat Tour, MARINA's upcoming album (& new poetry book), and new music from CHAPPELL ROAN!

At the SPA: JADE (Fantasy), ADDISON RAE (Aquamarine), OLLY ALEXANDER (Cupid’s Bow), REBECCA BLACK (Trust!), ROSÈ & BRUNO MARS (APT.), BETTY WHO (Wings ft. e.l.f. Cosmetics), ARIA WOOD (Swimming), LADY GAGA (Disease), ADÈLA (Superstar) and SKYE RILEY & NAOMI SCOTT (Blood on White Satin).

NEXT WEEK: We're off but when we return its time to celebrate 15 Years of The Fame Monster by LADY GAGA!
