It’s only taken them a couple of years, a pregnant girlfriend and losing a band member but One Direction have finally found their sound. “Infinity” is a pop/rock track that may be generic in structure but makes up in the strong harmonies and lyrical content. “How many nights have you wished someone would stay? Lay…

SINGLE REVIEW: Rose McGowan – RM486
Rose Mcgowan has always been an eccentric character who over the years has portrayed some very interesting and iconic roles in various TV Shows and Movies. In the past she has dabbled in music and talked about releasing a project at some stage, and that time is now. “RM486” is her debut single and I…
ALBUM REVIEW: Chvrches – Every Open Eye
Chvrches follow up to 2013’s debut “The Bones Of What You Believe” is a strong collection of 80’s influenced synth-pop tracks that explode from anthemic hooks and structured beat breakdowns which will have you m-o-v-i-n-g. The songs on “Every Open Eye” are polished and have a clear post pop EDM direction which is less moody…
ALBUM REVIEW: Jess Glynne – I Cry When I Laugh
Jess Glynne had all the potential. Her voice is intriguing and powerful, her songwriting is empowering but somehow her debut album got lost in the delivery. “I Cry When I Laugh” loses the vulnerable power her vocals naturally create and sees her focusing on an exhausted pop/dance sound that is boring to say the least….

ALBUM REVIEW: Lana Del Rey – Honeymoon
I’m going to put it out there. Lana Del Rey is at times quite overrated. She’s an amazing musician but sometimes I can’t help but question if this would actually get the same reaction if it wasn’t her. Her third studio album sees me experiencing a mix of these feelings. Opening with the cinematic “Honeymoon”…
EP PREMIERE: Lucy Neville – Lady
Sydney based musician Lucy Neville is someone who has continued to impress me over the last couple of months. Her debut EP is finally unleashed and cements the star status that this songstress is destined to hit. “Lady” is a strong collection of indie-pop tracks that dabble in electronic and folk elements. Lead single “On…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ellie Goulding – On My Mind
Ellie Goulding has surprisingly become pop’s new poster girl and that ain’t a bad thing at all. With her third studio album “Delirium” due to be released on November 6, she’s unleashed a fierce new pop focused sound that will resume her reign at the top of the charts. “On My Mind” is an experimental…
SINGLE REVIEW: DNCE – Cake By The Ocean
Their billing themselves as “your favourite new band” and look, they quite possibly could be. Fronted by Joe Jonas, DNCE are made up of drummer Jack Lawless, guitarist JinJoo Lee and bassist Cole Whittle who is from one of my favourite and most underrated bands Semi Precious Weapons. Their lead single “Cake By The Ocean”…
