It’s been a little while since we’ve had new music from Little Mix and after the release of their mediocre second album “Salute” they have returned to a more pop influenced sound. “Black Magic” is a decent pop track that relies on gimmicky lyrics and a catchy hook to appeal to their young fan base….

LIVE REVIEW: Nickelback – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
What started off as ironically wanting to see Nickelback live turned into genuine excitement. Going through their greatest hits you can’t deny that you know the majority of the lyrics and that you rock out to them when they play on the radio. Yes, they may be one of the most hated and ridiculed bands but…
SINGLE REVIEW: Rita Ora – Poison
I began to question what was more likely; Rita Ora releasing a new single or Michael Jackson touring. The Michael Jackson option seemed a bit more attainable. But after a lot of musical setbacks, fashion ventures and waiting Rita Ora is ready to give us a new single to officially launch the promotion for album…
ALBUM REVIEW: Pitch Perfect 2 Soundtrack
In 2012 you were pitch slapped HARD. Three years on the sequel will hit you harder with stronger jokes and storyline but the music lacks the wow impact the original hard. Opening with a seamless Barden Bellas medley of “Timber”, We Got The World”, “America The Beautiful” and “Wrecking Ball” it took you right back…
LIVE REVIEW: Motley Crue & Alice Cooper – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
I always found the billing of the Motley Crue and Alice Cooper a tad confusing as Cooper has had more hits and his stage charisma is a bit more engaging. So the billing of him as a special guest was a tad strange. Anyway, with the curtain dropping Alice Cooper emerged on stage singing “Department…
SINGLE REVIEW: Taylor Swift Feat. Kendrick Lamar – Bad Blood
“1989” was one of the best albums of 2014 and with each single released she constantly topped the charts. However her next single choice was quite surprising. “Bad Blood” was undoubtedly the worst song on the album and lacked the spark the other tracks had so when it was announced as the next single it…
SINGLE REVIEW: Maroon 5 – This Summer’s Gonna Hurt Like A Motherfucker
After the massive success of “Sugar” Maroon 5 are ready to continue their reign with a brand new song off a re-release of “V”. The controversial “This Summer’s Gonna Hurt Like A Motherfucker” see’s Levine fronting a raunchier side to the band. The massive pop track is the perfect try hard summer anthem that sees…
SINGLE REVIEW: Avril Lavigne – Fly
Returning to her roots Avril Lavigne has stripped it back and tried to focus on pure strength and power to inspire others once again. The result is a half heartened attempt of an anthem for the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games. “Fly” is co-penned by her husband Chad Kroeger and while it tries very…
SINGLE REVIEW: Years & Years – Shine
PREPARE YOURSELF. Literally. Years & Years are quickly blowing up and their debut album “Communion” will be one of the most raved about albums of the year. They’ve just unleashed their next single and it’s a massive bop. Infecting you with synth-pop greatness “Shine” is an 80’s influenced indie-pop track that is emotionally charged and…
EP REVIEW: Flo Rida – My House
I really feel for Flo Rida. His rapid decline in fame has been embarrassing to say the least. He went from being one of the most sought after collaborators to not having a real hit in 3 years and his most recent credible collaboration being with Nickelback. That’s rough. Attempting to make a comeback he…
