London-based artist and producer Tsatsamis released his mixtape Tsycophant last month and showcases its lithe electropop on this mini tour.

<\/strong>National Gallery, London, 2 May to 23 August
Gazing saints, bowls of lemons, loads of magi and a circumcision: the so-called Spanish Caravaggio took on a huge variety of subject matter, but always with a singular intensity and sense of heightened drama. Francisco de Zurbar\u00e1n was a giant of 17th-century art, a proper master of the baroque, and this exhibition will be a serious art blockbuster.<\/p>\n

Tori Amos \u2013 In Times of Dragons
<\/strong>Out now
A metaphorical story based around a desperate fight for democracy in the face of a \u201cbillionaire Lizard Demon\u201d forms the backbone of the 18th album by the US singer-songwriter.

Kacey Musgraves \u2013 Middle of Nowhere
<\/strong>Out now
The country music superstar attempts to settle into singledom on her seventh album. On the title track that means enjoying the freedom of being undefined, while a certain lack of intimacy (\u201cain\u2019t nobody\u2019s tool up in my shed\u201d) is bemoaned on the playful single, Dry Spell.<\/p>\n
