What a diverse and all-embracing selection of releases we have for you this week - if you like your soulful hip-hop sandwiched between a couple of slices of Sabbath-style metal and resonant, intelligent pop, with perhaps some extra special R&B sauce on the side then you're in the right place. Freshly laid out on the musical smorgasbord this week are new albums from Gnarls Barkley, Wolfmother, Nerina Pallot and Rihanna - and if that's not enough then there are also new singles from Snow Patrol, Dirty Pretty Things, Chicane AND a new five-track EP from the Arctic Monkeys - something for even the most particular of palates. So get feasting.

The History
The Raconteurs
Steady, As She Goes
The Raconteurs are a new band fronted by long-time friends Jack White of the White Stripes and powerpop singer-songwriter extraordinaire Brendan Benson. What started off as a one-song project, resulting in the fantastic new single 'Steady, As She Goes', expanded over time into a whole set of sparkling, inspirational tracks which will finally be made available on their debut album 'Broken Boy Soldiers' released on May 15th. They've recently accumulated a raft of early fans during a brief but ecstatically received tour of the UK and will be back on these shores for the upcoming summer festival season.
