I can't believe it's now nine albums for the Akron, Ohio duo The Black Keys, on Friday they returned with "Let's Rock".
Following on from previous smash hits like Gold on the Ceiling, Lonely Boy, Tighten Up, Strange Times and Your Touch, the new album is 11 more radio friendly rock hits.
It's been a long five years since their 2014 record Turn Blue.
The duo love a tour this fine nation and I really hope the group come back, currently the gang just have North America dates on their site, however as a popular visitor I am sure we will see them in 2020. So weird saying 2020!
Anyway get into their new album below as well as some selected hits from their impressive back catalogue.

From that POP list of artist here is my quick review of what the tracks actually were like -

Cardi B - See for yourself below, it's called Press and I for one like this.
Miley Cyrus - Turns out it was more than a single!
Mark Ronson - hmmmmmm not sold on this new one with Camila Cabello.
King Princess - It's no Pussy is God but OK.
Charli XCX - with Diplo and Herve Pagez non the less, it's a Spice Girls homage. Spicy!
