SINGLE REVIEW: OneRepublic – Rescue Me

Ever since the release of OneRepublic’s fourth studio album ‘Oh My My’, I’ve been questioning if the dynamic five piece had lost their spark. For this record they headed towards an EDM influenced pop sound that felt confused and uninspired. They were trying to keep up with the current trends surrounding them on the charts…

SINGLE REVIEW: Washington – Dirty Churches

Over the past year Washington has been dropping nostalgia filled and synth layered tracks with vulnerable thoughts and slick hooks.

SINGLE REVIEW: Charli XCX feat. Lizzo – Blame It On Your Love

Earlier this week Charli XCX and Lizzo announced that they were coming to save pop music and we all believed them.

ALBUM REVIEW: Ciara – Beauty Marks

In retrospective this is the strongest promotional lead up to an album that Ciara has had in a long time. From the viral success of ‘Level Up’ to her countless televised performances and her massive 2019 Billboard Music Awards performance which gained massive praise, Ciara is a name that everyone is talking about again. ‘Beauty…

EP REVIEW: Aly & AJ – Sanctuary

80’s synths will forever be one of my favourite sounds. There is just something about that production styling that can make you want to dance and cry at the same time and that’s such a powerful thing. And that’s the direction that Aly & AJ have shifted towards since their exciting comeback in 2017. They…

Returning with the post-summer track that you didn’t know you needed in your life, ‘Between You & I’ is a bold return for Kita Alexander.
