Shangri La
Jake Bugg's eponymous 2012 debut was enough of a success to push him into neo-stardom across the Atlantic Ocean.
Album review: Jake Bugg, 'Shangri La'. The Nottingham-born singer's second album, recorded stateside with Rick Rubin, proves to be a runaway success.
<p>Painful Gallagher-esque vocal stylings and sloppy attempts at social commentary spoil the singer-songwriter's second album, writes <strong>Hermione Hoby</strong></p>
<p>From Nottingham to Malibu – Jake Bugg may not be just an ordinary lad any more, but his new album is pretty run of the mill, says <strong>Alexis Petridis</strong></p>
The follow-up to the young folk-rocker's lauded debut lacks imagination. CD review by Serena Kutchinsky
