This week's batch includes new albums from Miley Cyrus; Ty Segall; Caroline; Heinali & Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko; Matt Berninger; Shura; Yeule; Aesop Rock; Obongjayar; Qasim Naqvi; Rome Streetz & Conductor Williams; and Photographic Memory.

After winning the Record of the Year Grammy for 'Flowers' last year, Miley Cyrus took a logical next step that so often eludes pop stars at the highest level: She leaned into her weirdest, most experimental impulses for an album that panders to nobody but herself. Enter Something Beautiful, a wily pop opus with contributions from a diverse array of indie artists. Executive-produced by Cyrus and Shawn Everett, the sprawling album balances its outré intentions by keeping a handle on the most durable pop influences—'the Beatles and Elvis and David Bowie and Prince like Madonna, these are all pop artists,' Cyrus told Apple Music. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify Listen on Tidal Listen on Amazon Music Buy at Rough Trade Possession isn't the usual Ty Segall record as of late. The longtime psych-rock staple co-wrote the album with filmmaker Matt Yoka to be a collection of American stories about hopeless kleptomaniacs, urban explorers, and other people who slip through the cracks. Segall sounds looser and sunnier on these songs, harkening back to his older sound while allowing the vibrancy of Yoka's imagination—which previously took shape solely in the visual world of Segall's albums Goodbye Bread, Manipulator, and Emotional Mugger—to lead toward low-heat grooves ('Fantastic Tomb') and Bowie-style classic rock ('Possession') when it may.

Three years later, the follow-up, Caroline 2, expands outward in every direction, pairing scraggy, strummed chorales with heart-on-sleeve mantras and distorted furore. The London octet enlisted Caroline Polachek for lead single 'Tell Me I Never Knew That,' one of many moments that feels like the work of not just a band but a community. 'The first record was a compilation, but this one is a declaration,' as singer-guitarist Jasper Llewellyn put it in press materials. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify Listen on Tidal Listen on Amazon Music Listen/Buy at Bandcamp Buy at Rough Trade Ukrainian composer and avant-garde electronic musician Heinali has spent the past few years contributing to the growing trend of fusing electronic music with medieval folk. On Гільдеґарда, the album recorded from his new show with Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko, he draws from the work of Hildegard von Bingen to explore further the intersection of those genres. The 12th-century abbess, composer, philosopher, and visionary becomes a thrilling subject when backed by modular synths, Ukrainian folk singing, and high medieval music. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify Listen on Tidal Listen on Amazon Music Listen/Buy at Bandcamp The National's Matt Berninger made his second solo album, Get Sunk, around his move from Los Angeles to Connecticut. After a period of writers' block—and a sense he was 'drowning' in his own voice—he cracked open a new songwriting idiom, before assembling musicians including Booker T. Jones, Hand Habits' Meg Duffy, National touring member Kyle Resnick, and members of the Walkmen, mostly recording with Berninger in a basement. 'Our heart's are like old wells filled with pennies and worms,' he said of the album's themes. 'I can't resist going down to the bottom of mine to see what else is there. But sometimes you can get yourself stuck.' Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify Listen on Tidal Listen on Amazon Music Listen/Buy at Bandcamp Buy at Rough Trade Shura glides between rallying and confessional synth-pop on I Got Too Sad for My Friends, the six-years-coming follow-up to Forevher. The British singer-songwriter applies her lithe pop sensibility to topics such as social anxiety, pandemic isolation, and, as ever, the tumult of love on the Luke Smith–produced album, which features guest turns from Cassandra Jenkins, Helado Negro, and Becca Mancari. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify Listen on Tidal Listen on Amazon Music Listen/Buy at Bandcamp Buy at Rough Trade In a shapeshifter career, Evangelic Girl Is a Gun is Yeule's most disarming transformation yet. Having mastered hyperpop heaters and meteoric alt-rock, the singer-producer-songwriter summons trip-hop ooze and industrial sleaze on an album that is both a total reinvention and, on the synth-pop-grunge hybrid of songs like 'Eko,' a consolidation of the adventuring spirit that has made Yeule one of the defining artists of the decade. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify Listen on Tidal Listen on Amazon Music Listen/Buy at Bandcamp Buy at Rough Trade On Black Hole Superette, Aesop Rock presents the late-night convenience store as a symbol of the modern condition. The Long Island veteran—assisted by likeminded rappers Lupe Fiasco, Homeboy Sandman, Open Mike Eagle, billy woods, and Elucid—invites us into surreal lyrical mazes as he stumbles, half-asleep, through a vortex of consumerism and encroaching tech.

Haunted by a phrase from a dream his wife had one night—'God docks at death harbor'—the Pakistani American artist conceived of a 'tone poem' about, he's said, 'the last human on the planet—an endling, traversing a world centuries into the future. A world decayed and mutated into a strange amalgam of the natural and artificial.' Moor Mother features on the undulating ambient refractions of 'Power Down the Heart.'

Hollyoaks star 'ties the knot with businessman fiancé she met on aeroplane'
The actress, who is best known for her role as Katja on the long-running soap, went public with her relationship six years ago Hollyoaks star Caroline Koziol has reportedly married her fiancé Phil Thornett after first meeting him on an aeroplane. The actress, who is best known for her role as Katja on the long-running soap, went public with her relationship six years ago and has now walked down the aisle with her closest friends and family attending the ceremony. According to reports, the gorgeous couple tied the knot in the countryside at a ceremony attended by their family and friends including former Hollyoaks co-star Rory Douglas Speed, who is known for his role as Joel Dexter in the Channel 4 series. Caroline and Rory became close friends on the set of Hollyoaks. As per The Sun, Caroline reportedly met her now-husband Phil on the plane and quickly fell for him. The Mirror have contacted Caroline for comment. The actress appeared on Hollyoaks for a short stint in 2021 where she portrayed a Polish immigrant named Katja. Her character was the unsuspecting van driver of laptops that Warren Fox, Felix Westwood and Brad King were going to steal from. As their plan unfolded, Felix - dressed as a policeman - directed her into a garage but she soon became weary of him when she noticed he wasn't wearing a proper stab vest. Felix panicked about what to do and tied her up before placing her in the back of the van. During the chaos, Katja managed to escape from him. While escaping in her van, she accidentally hit Maxine Minniver. Meanwhile, outside of Hollyoaks, Caroline appeared as Mariana in Line of Duty in 2019. Not only has she appeared in over 20 Bollywood films, she also received a nomination for Best Actress at the Los Angeles Film Festival for her role in the short film, Dream Catcher. The actress also has almost 200,000 followers on TikTok and entertains fans with her endless, unique sketches and posts. Speaking about content creation, she previously said: "My followers give me so much, and I've built a community with them. I read every comment, and I'm incredibly grateful for the support I receive. "However, it wasn't easy to start with. I tried to succeed on TikTok for the past two years, but none of my channels were successful. I kept posting every day for nine months, and through consistent effort, I finally managed to build an audience. "I found it tricky at the beginning because my videos barely got any views, but I read that consistency is key, so I decided to keep going."

Disha Patani rocks in Monaco with Rs 18,397 blue maxi and white backless mini—her hotness is limitless
When it's about a hot fashion game, Disha Patani has been unbeatable. The actress recently attended the F1 race in Monaco, Europe, and her latest Instagram dump has left us dreaming of having a wardrobe just like hers. Apart from the wrap top, the style icon also stunned in the two contrasting but equally bold outfits—a mini-dress and a maxi. And we can't wait to dive deep into the details! Blue Maxi Enjoying the yacht ride, Disha Patani kept her look easy breezy in the blue maxi known as the Caroline dress from Rat & Boa, costing Rs 18,394. It's a playful ensemble with the delicate floral prints, spaghetti halter straps with the fastening at the back adding a sultry edge, and a dropped neckline. For the easygoing vibe, the dress was made with lightweight fabric. What looked more HOT was the backless design—it just made us fall in love with her again. The actress didn't add many accessories, and of course, she didn't require them, as her outfit was itself slaying. She just wore a delicate necklace, whereas to feel the breezy air, she kept her hair open to flow naturally. Talking about her beauty choice, it was just the basics she needed for the radiant finish. The flawless glow was achieved with a hint of blush and nude-shade lipstick. White backless mini The other look of Yodha actress enjoying the boat ride was in a white mini-dress with a sexy backless design. The fitted bodice highlighted her curves, whereas the halter straps with gold rings focused on her collarbones. Moreover, the deep sweetheart neckline enhanced the feminine charm, making it the perfect outfit, just what we need to look bold and stylish. What was more focused on her outfit was the way she styled it. Her hair was tied into a bun with the strands falling on her face. And the accessories were just minimal, with white stud earrings. And lastly, on her makeup, it was just perfect with the basic blush on her cheeks and the light-shade lipstick. Disha Patani's look in Monaco was just breathtaking. Whether it was a full-length maxi or a backless mini, one thing that remained constant was how gorgeous and hot she looked. With her approach of keeping it subtle with radiant makeup and accessories, she just served the ultimate vacation fashion goals.

Company planning Alberta solar plant project owes citizens' group $238K: AUC
A solar panel board is seen in this undated image. (Pixabay/Pexels) The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) is taking action against a company planning to build a solar farm in an Alberta hamlet for failing to comply with an order to pay a local citizens' group more than $238,000. On May 28, the commission sent a notice of non-compliance to PACE Bang Energy LP (Pace), which was approved to construct and operate a 14.67-megawatt (MW) solar farm in Caroline, Alta., earlier this year. According to the notice, the AUC issued a costs decision on March 14, ordering Pace to pay the Caroline Concerned Citizen's Group (CCCG) $238,950.20 as intervener costs awarded for its participation in the proceedings. 'Pace failed to pay intervener costs to the CCCG and is in breach of the costs decision, the related order to pay costs in accordance with that costs decision, and a subsequent ruling confirming its obligation to pay those costs,' the AUC notice reads. Pace had until April 14 to pay the group. It instead filed an application to review the decision on April 14. The company also filed for permission to appeal the costs decision. 'Neither the filing of an application for review nor the filing of an application for permission to appeal acts to stay an order or direction of the AUC,' the AUC notes. Two days later, on April 16, Pace filed a motion to suspend the costs decision, pending the conclusion of its application for review. The company argued that paying the costs would force it to delay the development of at least five projects and cause 'consequent harms that represent a financial burden impacting Pace's operational flexibility, investment capabilities, relationships with key consultants and vendors, and the stability required for ongoing business activities.' The commission temporarily suspended the implementation of the costs on April 17, pending a decision on Pace's motion. The motion was ultimately denied on May 8. The commission directed Pace to pay the CCCG within seven days of the ruling. The commission said the CCCG filed a letter on May 23, informing them that payment of the costs had not been made by Pace within seven days of the ruling. 'The CCCG asserted that this represented willful non-compliance with the commission's order and requested that the commission take a number of steps to address that non-compliance,' the notice reads. The notice of non-compliance issued on Wednesday by the commission directed Pace to show cause why it should not take action against the company, listing several measures, including: Adding the other applicants involved in the project as liable to pay the intervener costs award; Awarding interest on the costs until payment is made; Suspending processing of approvals and orders for the Caroline Solar Farm; Suspending processing of current applications filed by Pace or its affiliates; Ceasing the acceptance and processing of new applications from Pace; Requiring Pace to provide up-front security for intervener costs connected to any pending or future applications; Bringing an application for contempt under the Alberta Utilities Commission Act; and Any further orders, directions or proceedings the commission deems 'fit to make in the circumstances.' The notice directed Pace to file a written response by no later than June 2, at 4 p.m. CTV News has reached out to Pace for comment. The CCCG has been opposing the project, citing concerns about zoning upkeep and safety. The solar power plant would have a footprint of 80 acres, about the same size as the hamlet of Caroline. The project is set to be built on land designated for residential and agricultural use. The Alberta Utilities Commission approved the project on February 28. With files from Alesia Fieldberg
