EP REVIEW: Iggy Azalea – Survive The Summer

It has been four years since we have heard a full body of work from Iggy Azalea and whilst she’s been turning out some catchy singles the Australian rapper hasn’t really had any radio or chart traction. The radio stations have kind of forgotten about her, the media have given up on her and even…

SINGLE REVIEW: CXLOE – Show You

Ahead of her BigSound showcase next month CXLOE has released her infectious new single ‘Show You’ that showcases a seductive and emotional side to her vocal delivery.  Her previous releases have heard her offer empowerment, angst and air her anxieties so it was about time we saw a more playful side to the singer-songwriter. And…

SINGLE REVIEW: Matt Corby –  No Ordinary Life

I never thought I would say it but Matt Corby has just released a Willy Wonka inspired single. Yeah, you read the correctly. And no the Australian singer-songwriter isn’t singing about Oompa Loompas or a lifetime supply of Chocolate but instead the melody takes you on a dreamy and psychedelic journey that has a similar…

SINGLE REVIEW: Robyn – Missing U

So I’m just going to go ahead and say it. The return of Robyn was a little hyped up. I mean in the past the Swedish singer-songwriter has been a little under-appreciated for her synth bops. But then ‘Dancing On My Own’ kind of went viral and everyone has been patiently waiting to hear what…

SINGLE REVIEW: Zayn feat. Timbaland – Too Much

There’s been no real word as to when Zayn will actually release his sophomore studio album so in the meantime he keeps on dropping intriguing singles instead. The newest track to hit your airwaves is the futuristic ballad ‘Too Much’. For this mediocre track he has teamed up with the the legendary Timbaland and whilst…

SINGLE REVIEW: Tkay Maidza feat. Duckwrth – Flexin

It’s been two years since we have received new solo music from Tkay Maidza and in that time the Adelaide rapper has experimented with her sound, collaborated a lot and has continually grown as an artist. So it’s rightfully so that her new single ‘Flexin’ is sonically quite the departure to her 2016 debut album…

SINGLE REVIEW: Maggie Rogers – Give A Little

We were first introduced to Maggie Rogers in 2016 when Pharrell Williams sat in awe during a mentoring session with her and was rightfully blown away by her raw talent and incredible songwriting. From there the singer-songwriter has circulated massive streaming numbers, released an EP and toured the world. 2018 has seen Rogers re-introduce herself…

SINGLE REVIEW: Charli XCX – Girls Night Out

Charli XCX really has taken this “2018 is going to be year you hear the most new music from me” comment seriously with releasing yet another new single. This time she’s finally released the playful ‘Girls Night Out’ which originally surfaced 2 years ago when an early demo leaked from her ICloud account. But now…

SINGLE REVIEW: Robinson – Don’t Trust Myself

Earlier in the year Robinson dropped the ridiculously catchy ‘Nothing To Regret’ which quickly became one of my favourite songs of 2018. The vivid imagery transported you to her friends lounge room where she was crashing and to the parties where she was drinking and living in an emotional limbo. It was just so honest…

SINGLE REVIEW: The Chainsmokers feat. Emily Warren – Side Effects

2018 has really become the year that The Chainsmokers have started impressing me. They’ve (thankfully) thrown out the generic pop-dance formula they were constantly over-using to get radio airplay and instead have started focusing on lyrics and production. They’ve dived into a darker and more experimental production world which as seen songs like ‘Sick Boy’…
