SINGLE REVIEW: Selena Gomez – The Heart Wants What It Wants
Releasing a greatest hits album without many actual certified hits is an interesting concept but that’s not stopping Selena Gomez from doing it. “For You” is set to be released on 24 November and to promote it she’s just unveiled an emotionally charged new single. “The Heart Wants What It Wants” is a vulnerable…
ALBUM REVIEW: One Direction – Four
There’s no messing with One Direction’s power on the music industry and after non-stop touring the band have released their ironically titled fourth album ‘Four”. However I’m sorry to report that this album is a bland as its title. “Stockholm Syndrome” is probably the most exciting song on this album with a HAIM influenced sound,…
LIVE REVIEW: The Madden Brothers – Hisense Arena, Melbourne
For Joel and Benji Madden performing comes second nature to them and witnessing their first Madden Brothers show nerves were surprisingly noticeably high.

ALBUM REVIEW: Nicole Scherzinger – Big Fat Lie
Nicole Scherzinger’s debut solo album “Killer Love” was one of the most underrated releases of 2011. It was a strong collection of infectious pop/RNB songs with powerful ballads that showcased her wide vocal range. Her follow up record “Big Fat Lie” lacks the drive, ambition and pure powerfulness of the debut. Lead single “Your Love”…
