Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson

Her 3rd.

DIY: “‘EURO-COUNTRY’ has been the soundtrack to – and the driving force behind – her arrival proper in the mainstream’s big leagues. An opus in the truest sense of the word, it’s an instant-classic album that, in the future, will be held up as the gold standard for just how much you can say with pop.”

UNCUT Magazine’s BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR

23 December 2025

Many music blogs/websites, big and small, have posted their
end-of-the-year lists (best song/album/concert/video etc).

British music monthly magazine UNCUT picked comeback LP
MORE by English pop vets PULP as their Best Album Of 2025.

“It should be no surprise that they’ve taken their own sweet time in delivering their
masterpiece. Over almost half a century they’ve been an object lesson in a band slowly discovering their strengths, honing their craft, biding their time. They’ve matured, not
like a fine wine, but maybe like a magnificently ripe Wensleydale.”
