SINGLE REVIEW: John Newman – Fire In Me
John Newman is back with a new single that isn’t snooze worthy boring and it’s a pleasant surprise. “Fire In Me” hears the English singer-songwriter returning to his brassy electronic sound with an additional tropical dance influence.

SINGLE REVIEW: ZHU feat. Tame Impala – My Life
When you see the two names ZHU and Tame Impala together you automatically think “okay this is going to be a soothing banger”.

EP REVIEW: ALMA – Heavy Rules Mixtape
ALMA is a newcomer that everyone needs to get more excited over. “Chasing Highs” was one of the most underrated pop songs of 2017 and deserved absolute chart domination.
