EP REVIEW: Reece Mastin – Rebel And The Reason

Leaving his major record label and going independent was one of the best career moves Reece Mastin could have ever made. He was an artist trying to be true to his rock roots but was having to release glorified pop/rock to stay relevant and crack the charts. His debut EP on Social Family Records shows…

Hailing from Sweden, Icona Pop are one of the most underrated pop/dance acts in the music industry.

In 2011 Florence + The Machine gave us the immaculately produced “Ceremonials” that saw the whole world falling in love with the unique voice and vulnerability that she empowers.

ALBUM REVIEW: Jason Derulo – Everything Is 4

I’m not even embarrassed to say that I’m usually pretty excited for when Jason Derulo releases an album because he always delivers pure pop/RNB.

ALBUM REVIEW: Twenty One Pilots – Blurryface

Twenty One Pilots are one of my favourite live bands and for good reason. Their shows explode with character, energy and carefree moments that will have your hands in the air and your body moving. After breaking the mainstream market with “Vessel” the dynamic duo are back with their fourth studio album and it may…
