3 June's Big Albums - Paul Potts - Passione

Release date: June 1
While the world loses its collective mind over Susan Boyle (she really isn't that good), Britain's Got Talent's original winner Paul Potts releases his second album, having sold over four million copies of its predecessor. The pop/classical formula remains firmly in place, an operatic cover of A Whiter Shade Of Pale being perhaps the most apt example.

Neither of them is called Veronica (the name comes from a line in cult movie Heathers) but Jessica and Lisa Origliasso are Australia's hottest electropop duo. With two hit albums and a clothing range in their homeland behind them, the girls have turned their attentions to global domination. If the early buzz around new single Untouched is anything to go by, they might just pull it off. Watch this space

Of their third studio release, front-man Tom Meighan told Gigwise, "It all joins together, which is beautiful. There’s no gaps in it, it’s very psychedelic, there’s very much elements of the first but it’s a more distant sounding Kasabian than we have been with the last two albums." Thanks for clearing that up, Tom. Shedding a little more light on things, the fact that Gorillaz producer Dan 'the Automator' Nakamura was on knob-twiddling duties suggests we could be in for a more electronic feel this time out.
