Rapper Drake is back with not just one new album but three. We will be finding out about them and the reaction from fans and critics around the world. Plus, we hear from the British rock band The Karma Effect, whose roots and output are influenced by old school rock guitar driven riffs. We also feature new music Gracie Abrams, the latest hit for Stella Lefty and this year's Eurovision Song Contest winner.
