The greatest albums we have heard in 2014: the year's early best bits
Essential albums you need to know
We're only two months into 2014, but already this has been a brilliant year for music, with albums from big name stars and rising acts proving hugely impressive. Well done the popstars and rock elite.
From hip-hop to rock, pop to dance, these are the best albums we have heard this year, records we are going back to again and again, music that is shaping the scene in 2014. They may not make our end of year lists (come on, those are 10 months away), but these are the greatest albums we have heard so far this year. We love them, and think you will too...
