The self titled release is a collection of fourteen unreleased tracks lead by new single “Carry On” feat Killer Mike. Now this is a bold move after having four distinctive and successful…

SINGLE REVIEW: You Me At Six – Night People
For the past eight years You Me At Six have been delivering you the same pop-rock sound, just with different lyrics. Their last album “Caviler Youth” was a bitter disappointment of uninspired lyrics and flat hooks. With the announcement of their forthcoming fifth studio album “Night People” I’m not going to lie and say I…
ALBUM REVIEW: Frank Ocean – Blonde
To say I’m confused with what is going on within the Frank Ocean camp is an understatement. Not only did he release a visual album through Apple Music with Universal Music called “Endless” the next day he released an entirely different album independently through Apple Music. W HA T. So you say we’ve waited 4…
SINGLE REVIEW: Dua Lipa – Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
Dua Lipa has dropped the catchiest pop song of 2016 and prepare for it to not leave your head anytime soon. “Blow Your Mind (Mwah)” is the next instalment in Lipa’s climb to the top of the charts following the massive breakthrough success of “Be The One” and “Hotter Than Hell”. The structure of the…
SINGLE REVIEW: Bridgit Mendler – Atlantis
I’m a bit confused by the direction that Bridgit Mendler is going towards for her longly anticipated follow up to her debut album “Hello My Name Is..”. And yes, whilst I’m aware that record was released under her contract with Disney I didn’t expect her direction to be so… erm.. drastic once she went independent….
EP REVIEW: Carly Rae Jepsen – E.mo.tion Side B
Carly Rae Jepsen’s sophomore studio album “E.mo.tion” is the gift that keeps on giving. After a successful year with the hit singles “Run Away With Me” and “I Really Like You” as well as the beginning of the “Queen Of” memes she’s ready to impress all over again. To celebrate the year anniversary of the…
ALBUM REVIEW: Britney Spears – Glory
If we pretend that her dismal 2013 album “Britney Jean” doesn’t exist then you can say that Britney Spears has released a strong and versatile collection of records over the past 17 years. And her ninth studio album “Glory” introduces a new maturity and growth to her sound. Working alongside some of the industries hottest…
EP REVIEW: Laura Roy – Laura Roy
I love listening to good pop music because when it’s done right a simplistic idea that may have been done 100 times over can feel so new, fresh and euphoric. And independent Canadian artist Laura Roy has done just that. Her debut EP “Don’t Chase” is a collection of early 90’s RNB infused synth pop…
EP REVIEW: Jordan Fisher – Jordan Fisher
Jordan Fisher is Disney’s newest artist to sign to Hollywood Records and with their track record I wasn’t expecting him to have too much creative control for this project, but apparently I was wrong. His debut single “All About Us” was an impressive urban-pop crossover which echoed the production styles of Usher and Nick Jonas….
EP REVIEW: K.FLAY – Crush Me
I don’t even know how to begin to describe K.Flay’s unique sound. I guess you would call her alternative-pop-hop. Yeah let’s stick with that. She kind of just creates music that feel’s right to her and doesn’t restrict herself to a specific genre. Her fourth EP “Crush Me” is her darkest and most expressive release…
