Welcome to your New Music Friday round-up, here to serve you the biggest music and home entertainment releases of the week.

On the albums front, Scottish indie rock outfit The Snuts return with Millennials, their third full-length collection preceded by tracks including Millionaires, Gloria and NPC. Jack Cochrane, Callum Wilson, Joe McGillveray and Jordan Mackay will be hoping the record earns them a third Top 5 LP, following 2021 chart-topper W.L. and 2022’s Burn The Empire (3).

Plaistow rapper Ghetts, born Samuel Justin Jude Clarke, unleashes brand-new album On Purpose, With Purpose this week. Ghetts’s fourth studio album could claim him a fourth UK Top 40 record, following the success of 2014 debut Rebel With A Cause (23), 2018’s Ghetto Gospel: The New Testament (30) and 2021 release Conflict Of Interest (2).

Connecticut-formed rock duo MGMT, comprising Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin Goldwasser, are back with Loss Of Life; their first album of new material in six years. To date, the group have scored three Top 40 LPs: 2008’s Oracular Spectacular (8), 2010 record Congratulations (4) and 2018’s Little Dark Age (27).

Elsewhere, Rod Stewart joins forces with Jools Holland on Swing Fever; a 13-track record honouring the timeless songs of the big band era. With new takes on classics including Ain’t Misbehavin’, Lullaby Of Broadway and Sentimental Journey, could the album earn Rod an 11th chart-topping LP as a soloist?
