Our Amazon Music picks
If your study playlists need a refresh, Amazon Music’s three-month free offer is the perfect excuse to dive into something new. Here are our top picks for this month:
Lost Weekend – Phoebe Bridgers
Phoebe Bridgers is finally back with Lost Weekend, her first solo album in six years. Her arena tour sold out within hours in both the US and UK, including a run at London's O2, so this one's less a quiet indie release and more a full moment.
It lands on 14th August, just in time for a very different kind of end-of-summer listening. You'll want this one on your playlist.

Starr Girl – Ayra Starr
From one of afrobeats' reigning "it girls" - Starr Girl, is Ayra Starr's third studio album, and her first since signing with Roc Nation. Expect the same confident, genre-blending sound that's made her one of the most-streamed African artists in the UK.
Out 14th August too – the same day as Bridgers, making it a super stacked release date.

Our Amazon Audible picks
Audiobooks are still the easiest way to get through a reading list hands-free – on a walk, a food shop, or the world's longest bus journey home. And with the Amazon Audible student discount, that's a 30-day free trial, then £5.99 a month. Here's what's worth queuing up:
The Odyssey - Homer
With it being one of the most highly anticipated films to come out this year, directed by the Christopher Nolan and with a highly star-studded cast lined up - why not get ahead of the game and dive into the original works.
The Odyssey follows Odysseus's ten-year journey home after the Trojan War – shipwrecks, monsters, a vengeful sea god, and a hero relying on wit alone to survive it. Some stories never stop being relevant.
One of the earliest pieces of Western literature, and still one of the best.

The Iliad - Homer
If The Odyssey has you hooked, The Iliad is the natural next listen – the direct prequel, covering the siege of Troy that sets the whole story in motion. It's having its own moment right now thanks to the same film wave.

Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! – Liv Albert
For the deep dive between books, Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! is the most popular Greek mythology podcast on Audible right now – witty, contemporary retellings of the exact myths behind The Odyssey and The Iliad, perfect prep before or after watching the film.

Fourth Wing – Rebecca Yarros
The romantasy phenomenon that needs no introduction. Fourth Wing is getting fresh attention with the announcement of book four in the Empyrean series, out this September – not the next sequel, but a spin-off, and the reveal alone is enough to send the fandom back to book one.

Our Perfect Storm – Carley Fortune
Childhood best friends Frankie and George escape to the misty rainforests and beaches of Tofino, British Columbia, in Our Perfect Storm. After Frankie's fiancé dumps her on her wedding weekend, George convinces her to take the honeymoon trip with him instead – forcing them to confront years of buried feelings.
Carley Fortune's books routinely hit number one on the New York Times Bestseller list during peak holiday months, and this one's already circulating hard on TikTok and Audible charts.

Funny Story – Emily Henry
Netflix just announced it's adapting Funny Story into a film, giving this one a fresh wave of attention. It follows practical librarian Daphne and chaotic wine bar worker Miles, who become roommates after their exes leave them for each other – and fake-date to make them jealous, ultimately falling for each other instead.
Emily Henry dominates summer reading lists every year, and the Netflix news has this one resurging hard right now.
