“Ultraviolence” should’ve been the most talked about album of 2014 but it fails to deliver with a mediocre selection of songs that don’t live up to it’s predecessor “Born To Die”. Lana Del Rey has one of the most unique voices in the industry and brings her haunting vocals to life on this album but…

ALBUM REVIEW: Sia – 1000 Forms Of Fear
Sia is the musical genius behind the hit songs “Diamonds” (Rihanna), “Titanium” (David Guetta), “Let Me Love You” (Ne-Yo), “Radioactive” (Rita Ora) and “Pretty Hurts” (Beyonce). After stepping out of the limelight in 2010 she has returned with her sixth studio album. “1000 Forms Of Fear” is easily Sia’s strongest collection of work and is the…
TRACK BY TRACK REVIEW: 5 Seconds Of Summer
1. “She Looks So Perfect” – It’s the song that put 5SOS on the map worldwide with its infectious chorus and cheesy lyrics that you can’t help but love. 2. “Don’t Stop” – The follow up single to “She Looks So Perfect” was always going to be highly criticised but it delivered with a punchy…
ALBUM REVIEW: Jennifer Lopez – A.K.A
Jennifer Lopez returns to her roots on “A.K.A” proving that she’s still Jenny From The Block with a diverse album of slow rnb jams, classic urban tracks and future club bangers. Technically (honestly) it’s not an incredible album that I’m going to rave about but neither of her past albums have been either. There are…
LIVE REVIEW: Bastille & Foxes – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney
UK songstress Foxes is someone you don’t want to mess with. Her vocal range could give Florence & The Machine a run for her money and her energy levels rival the likes of Ellie Goulding.

LIVE REVIEW: Ellie Goulding – Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
Ellie Goulding’s success has been well deserved and anyone that has seen her live know that she’s the real deal. Bursting onto the stage with “Figure 8” she opened the show with high energy and set the bars high for the evening. Going into B sides “Animal” and “Ritual” early on in the show…
THE LOWDOWN: The Vamps In Brisbane
The Vamps are quickly becoming one of the biggest bands in the world with a massive and dedicated fanbase that track the groups every move. Australian fans banded together passionately petitioning to bring them down under for a promotional visit/tour. After gaining worldwide attention the band confirmed they were coming down under in June 2014…
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Tove Lo
Currently sitting at number 10 on the Australian ITunes Charts with “Stay High” Tove Lo is quickly becoming a name not worth forgetting. The Sweedish songstress is fairly new to the music industry with her debut EP “Truth Serum” being released in March 2014. She isn’t just a talented vocalist but has written tracks for…
LIVE REVIEW: James Blunt – Brisbane Convention And Exhibition Centre
You either love him or you hate him but there’s no denying that James Blunt is talented and an incredible showman. Opening the show with “Face The Sun” he provided the near sell out crowd with a high energy live show that didn’t disappoint. With hilarious and crude banter in between songs he had the…
