IN THE SPOTLIGHT ON JB HI-FI NOW

Before her debut was even ready she’d already graced the stage at Glastonbury in the UK, and had her new single named ‘hottest record in the world’ by highly influential BBC announcer Zane Lowe. She played on Ellen the same week as Michelle Obama appeared. She's conquered the Australian festival circuit and after long-standing acclaim for her previous EPs both at home and afield, Courtney Barnett's new album is finally ready! Barnett's story-songs are fantastically imaginative; equally playful and powerful. Courtney Barnett Sometimes I Sit and Think, Sometimes I Just Sit

Kendrick Lamar To Pimp a Butterfly

James Bay is a soulful UK troubadour who cut James Bay Chaos and the Calm his teeth at open mic nights in London, and was signed to a record deal after a fan uploaded a performance to YouTube! His record company flew him to New York on the strength of the clip. If you like Haim, Kim Odell, or Ben Howard, Bay's Chaos and the Calm is for you.

This will be one of 2015's most talked about records. With the title referencing the famous novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the album features cuts with Flying Lotus, his collaborator Thundercat, funk legend George Clinton and the

ubiquitous Snoop Dogg. A bruising commentary on US race

relations, expect a challenging listen.
