Album of the Week - Returns Next Week or...

The week after. It's a sleepy time of the year, record companies are holding releases, award shows are on, streaming services are giving us more content than ever before and albums are just getting harder and harder for artists to commit to.

So in saying all the above I want to start 2019 with a BIG feature album (they are coming, see my recent three month preview HERE of new records on the way) an album we will remember in December, 2019. So for now the Album of the Week is on hold.
