I’m a sucker for wacky and innovative pop and Slovenian newcomer Anja Kotar is giving you just that. “How To Be Cool” pushes all the boundaries on what a pop song should sound like. The electronic production has stop and starting synths that come to life in the catchy hook which will have you wanting…

EP REVIEW: Sigrid – Don’t Kill My Vibe
It’s official, I’m obsessed with Sigrid. I called it back in February when I said she was one of the hottest newcomers of 2017 and that her debut single was the best debut I had heard in a long time. A massive call but a well deserving one and she’s continued to live up to…
SINGLE REVIEW: Pia Mia feat. Jeremih – I’m A Fan
I truly think Pia Mia is underrated and believe that her previous singles ‘We Should Be Together” and “Touch” deserved that Top 10 love that they surprisingly didn’t receive. She’s been a bit quiet recently, presumably working away in the studio or probably partying but she’s finally got a new song for us. Sadly its…
SINGLE REVIEW: Nick Jonas feat. Anne Marie & Mike Posner – Remember I Told You
Nick Jonas is all about reinventing himself and he’s done it yet again with new single “Remember I Told You” from his forthcoming third studio album. Stepping slightly away from the electronic tinged RNB he’s moving towards a groovier RNB meet soul pop. Enlisting help from Anne Marie and Mike Posner this all star trio…
SINGLE REVIEW: Vera Blue – Mended
She is quickly becoming one of the most talked about upcoming Australian artists and for good reason. Vera Blue is a new project from The Voice alum Celia Pavey and her debut EP was an impressive introduction to her magical indie pop. But as her debut album comes closer to being unleashed her music have…
SINGLE REVIEW: Halsey feat. Lauren Jauregui – Strangers
Halsey is preparing to release her sophomore studio album “Hopeless Fountain Kingdom” next week but before we get to hear it in it’s entirety she’s decided to drop one more song. “Strangers” is a strong synth track which is also probably the most pop we have heard her be. The pulsing synths drive the verse…
SINGLE REVIEW: Samantha Jade – Circles On The Water
I’m unsure who is looking after Samantha Jade’s marketing but dropping “surprise” singles is not a smart move for her. But anyways, surprise she has a new single and it’s actually really good. “Circles In The Water” is a departure from the bubblegum pop singles and RNB ballads she was cycling out and sees her…
SINGLE REVIEW: Neiked feat. Mimi – Call Me
I’m so excited. It’s been nearly a year since I first heard “Sexual” and fell in love with its euphoric production which then turned into it becoming one of my most played songs of 2016. There was just something fresh and different about it compared to everything else on the radio at the time. Obviously…
SINGLE REVIEW: Martin Garrix feat. Troye Sivan – There For You
It was the Coachella collaboration that almost broke the internet. Martin Garrix premiered the next instalment of his pop releases with guest vocalist Troye Sivan and after waiting patiently for weeks we have finally got a studio version. “There For You” follows the structure of Garrix’s previous singles “Scared To Be Lonely” and “In The…
SINGLE REVIEW: Carly Rae Jepsen – Cut To The Feeling
Carly Rae Jepsen is a real pop treasure and I don’t even need to try plead my case to you because “Emotion” and “Emotion Side B” exist and they speak for themselves as masterpieces. While we patiently wait for her fourth studio album the songstress/queen has released a new single for the movie “Leap” (also…
