29 Babacar by France Gall

After our elongated Eurovision hiatus we are back - with a Eurovision related episode! France Gall famously won the Eurovision Song Contest in the mid 60s, bringing a touch of the contemporary "yé-yé" sound to a sleepy, easy listening audience. She never really went away after her win but this particular album was deemed one of her 'comeback' releases. The songs on "Babacar" have a range of styles and genres; has an open heart and a global eye. This release spawned a number of her most treasured hits of the 1980s; now seen as French language pop standards and are still sampled/covered by contemporary acts. Not much of a news review as there are too many acts to keep on top of!! To fully immerse yourself in the Albumble podcast, listen to the album yourselves (Babacar is on Spotify and possibly other places too) then listen to our appraisal. Remember to get in touch by tweeting us via @albumble and tell us what you think of France Gall's work and whether you agree with our views !!

28 Pop Couture by Youth Sector

Sorry for the delay but illness, school camp and technical issues got a bit in the way - but it's here ! This band from the south coast of England have been going for almost a decade it is seems that in this album they have tried hard to collate the best of what they have produced and show their point of view. Many of the conversation points that turn up in this album seem to revolve around the fact that a) they have a particular point of view which is very well articulated and that b) one should not be fooled by the funkiness/dancey/positive instrumentation. This also leads to wonder what else they might come up with net To fully immerse yourself in the Albumble podcast, listen to the album yourselves (Pop Couture is on Spotify and possibly other places too) then listen to our appraisal. Remember to get in touch by tweeting us via @albumble and tell us what you think of Youth Sectpr’s work and whether you agree with our views !!

27 Hold On It Hurts by Cornershop

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!! In our first podcast of 2026 we start almost where we left off by looking at another album from the mid-90s but this one is seen and heard through a VERY different lens. Seen by many (and wrongly) as a bit of a one-hit wonder, Leicester's Cornershop started off their album careers with this collection of ditties which at some points feel a little disjointed but leads us as reviewers down a lot of paths. What were they trying to do? Could we see where they were going? How much of this was the band and how much was down to John Robb...? The album incorporates a number of genres which skirt along the edges of punk, psychedelia, prog, Britpop fringed with south Asian influences. One interesting caveat to this album is that many, many MANY rears later the band revisited this album renamed "Hold On It's Easy" which also created more questions than answers! Before we start though, we make a small brief allusion to the ESC 250 *yawn* as well as certain Dutchman's new material! To fully immerse yourself in the Albumble podcast, listen to the album yourselves (Hold On It Hurts AND Hold On It's Easy are on Spotify and possibly other places too) then listen to our appraisal. Remember to get in touch by tweeting us via @albumble and tell us what you think of Go West’s work and whether you agree with our views !!
