The latest offerings from Gorillaz and the sadly flopping Robyn both come in at under a fiver and whilst I can't speak for 'Plastic Beach', 'Body TalK Pt. 1' is most DEFINATELY an album to pick up, especially at this cut-down price! Check out 'Dancing On My Own' and 'Hang With Me' for a taster of what the Swedish popstrel has to offer.
Next up, Meloy Gardot's 'Worrisome Heart', which also comes in at a super reasonable £3.99 You might have to take my word for it, but her voice is like having honey poured in your ears (or what I imagine that would feel like, perhaps I'll give it a go later on and report back) and she should by no means be labelled a Winehouse clone like how so many of the 60's renaissance acts we've seen in recent years have been (Apolz Duffy, I still love 'Mercy').
Lastly, two albums which have been gradually going down and down and down in price but which are finally at a 'CAN'T MISS' stage for pop lovers. P!nk's 2008 'Funhouse' disc has been knocking around for a while now, but if you haven't already picked it up, you really have to. The well-known singles are nestled nicely inbetween some stunning album tracks and P!nk's rockstar attitude throughout makes me for a totally enjoyable experience.
'Ocean Eyes' by Owl City may be more of a 'love it or hate it' affair. I've seen the album labelled as very 'samey' and linear, however I'd argue that sole vocalist Adam Young's wistful lyrics combined with the upbeat electro-pop lite production combine to create an album that can perhaps only be described as very 'cute'. It's warm, it's fluffy, but it's by no means ashamed of it. Perhaps give it one a listen before you pick it up if you're not sure, especially check out 'The Saltwater Room', 'Umbrella Beach' and of course 'Fireflies'.
That's all for now, but check back for some more bargains verrrrry soon! : )
