SINGLE REVIEW: Sigrid – Sucker Punch

I feel like I’ve spent all of 2018 just waiting for Sigrid to release her debut album and I’m unsure if we are going to hear it anytime soon so I guess a new single is okay instead. ‘Sucker Punch’ is a brand new track that the Norwegian songstress has never played live before and…

SINGLE REVIEW: Polish Club – Clarity

After a year between releases, Australian rock duo Polish Club are back with their first single from their forthcoming second studio album. ‘Clarity’ is a epic 4 minute track that hears them throwing together crunching guitars, steady baselines and crashing drums. Whilst this big and intense sound  could become a bit overwhelming they’ve been able…

SINGLE REVIEW: Halsey – Without Me

Halsey has always been very honest in her songwriting however she’s used a character to portray these emotions in the past and somewhat safely hid behind that. But now she’s releasing the first song that she truly feels like Ashley, and not just Halsey. ‘Without Me’ sonically continues the alternative pop meets hip-hop influences that…

SINGLE REVIEW: Fickle Friends – The Moment

Following the release of their debut album, Fickle Friends have decided to keep the momentum rolling with a forthcoming EP that hears them stepping further into the synth-soaked world they began to experiment with. The first single ‘Broken Sleep’ was a forgettable disco-tinged track that became a little monotonous and didn’t seem to really go…

SINGLE REVIEW: Mane – Save Yourself

The mysterious and soulful sound of Mane continues to intrigue listeners with her bold new single, ‘Save Yourself’. The dark and anthemic track comes only weeks after her highly praised BigSound showcases that introduced the singer-songwriter to some of Australia’s biggest music industry names. Hailing from Adelaide she captures your attention with the piano led…

SINGLE REVIEW: Lauren Alaina – Ladies In The 90s

It’s still a little confusing to me that Lauren Alaina hasn’t exploded the way Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini or Carrie Underwood has. The Country meets pop singer-songwriter was the runner up on the tenth season of American Idol in 2011 and has failed to really re-create that spark since. Her sophomore studio album ‘Road Less…

SINGLE REVIEW: Matt Corby – All That I See

I’m increasingly becoming more and more intrigued to hear how Matt Corby’s second studio album ‘Rainbow Valley’ will sonically come together. So far his two singles ‘No Ordinary Life’ and ‘All Fired up’ have delivered dreamy and romantic soundscapes that have heard him experimenting and growing his evolving alternative sound. Stepping away from the folk…

SINGLE REVIEW: DVNA – Girl On The Move

Debut singles are always a scary yet exciting thing because it’s the first time listeners get to form an opinion on your sound, style, songwriting and vocals as an artist. Whilst it’s obviously nerve racking releasing music in general, it’s also a very vulnerable thing as a rare piece of your soul is orbiting through…

SINGLE REVIEW: Maisie Peters – In My Head

Sometimes it’s just really hard to let go after falling in love with someone, spending so much time with them and imagining what your future may hold. And then when it ends half of you feels empty and confused whilst the other half is stilling holding on to that little bit of hope. Romantically, it’s…
