The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds.

The legendary French band Rockets released their long-awaited new album "The Final Frontier" on October 31, 2024. An interstellar musical journey, which is a return to spatial sound and lyrics, clearly reminiscent of the eponymous albums Rockets (1976) and Plasteroid (1979), which made the band world famous. The new work contains 10 new tracks in the vinyl version, the CD additionally includes 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks, including a three-part epilogue.

Eric Clapton adopted a new, tougher, hard R&B approach on August, employing a stripped-down band featuring keyboard player Greg Phillinganes, bassist Nathan East, and drummer/producer Phil Collins, plus, on several tracks, a horn section and, on a couple of tracks, backup vocals by Tina Turner, and performing songs written by old Motown hand Lamont Dozier, among others. The excellent, but incongruous, leadoff track, however, was "It's in the Way That You Use It," which Clapton and Robbie Robertson had written for Robertson's score to the film The Color of Money.
