This week is a mixed bag if I ever saw one! Christina Aguilera is back with her first new album in nearly six years, 5 Seconds Of Summer have finally followed up 2015’s ‘Sounds Good Feels Good’ and Mike Shinoda has released his new solo album, which marks the Linkin Park multi-instrumentalist’s first new material since the passing of the band’s vocalist Chester Bennington.
