Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie (Four Tet remix)
Personally, I've had the new Justin Timberlake album on pretty much constant repeat this past week (what can I say, I'm a sucker for eight minute long, Timbaland produced pop songs!)

Depeche Mode - Soothe My Soul
There are so many 'comeback' albums kicking about at the moment that the return of synth-pop pioneers Depeche Mode after a four year absence seems to have gone slightly overlooked.
