It’s quite exciting that anxiety and depression are being talked about more openly now in social contexts because for so long it was taboo or really misunderstood. Where as now we have more people talking up about it and normalising their experiences which makes the future of education for these issues more promising. Another artist…

SINGLE REVIEW: Thelma Plum – Better In Blak
Thelma Plum has never been one to be afraid to speak her mind. She will say the honest truth and never holds back. She will proudly stand up when something seems wrong and she will plead for justice to prevail. On her new single ‘Better In Blak’, she stands up against people who were trying…
ALBUM REVIEW Marina – Love & Fear
It’s safe to say the hype around the return of Marina wasn’t what she or her label expected. It had been four years in between records and people were genuinely interested to see where she would sonically go next. By fronting her return with ‘Handmade Heaven’ and ‘Baby’ she left listeners a little underwhelmed with…
ALBUM REVIEW: Rob Thomas – Chip Tooth Smile
The soothing and reflective vocals of Rob Thomas soundtracked a major part of my childhood through the classic Matchbox Twenty songs ‘Unwell’, ‘Push’, ‘3AM’ and ‘How Far We’ve Come’ which all dominated at radio. But on the side of fronting this incredible band, Thomas also has a very successful side project which heard him also…
ALBUM REVIEW: AJR – Neotheater
AJR have grown a lot as artists since debuting with the ridiculously catchy ‘I’m Ready’ in 2014 which a lot of people assumed was just a gimmicky pop track. But instead it was a smart (and slightly annoying) genre pushing track that implemented some cool DIY themes. From there the three-piece have released a string…
SINGLE REVIEW: FKA Twigs – Cellophane
It’s been a long time between releases for FKA Twigs. The English singer-songwriter was first introduced to the world with her highly acclaimed debut album ‘LP1’ which showcased her unique sound and visual imagery that also saw her immediately touring the world and selling out shows. In time it became apparent that you would never…
SINGLE REVIEW: Kim Petras – Broken
Leading up to this moment, Kim Petras has released very playful, flirty and gimmicky tracks that have instantly become the soundtrack to many people’s summers. With her debut album expected to be released later this year, the German singer-songwriter has dropped the lead single from this upcoming collection. Produced by Dr Luke, she uncovers a…
SINGLE REVIEW: LANY feat. Julia Michaels – Okay
Emotional therapy. That should be the new name of this song because that is what ‘Okay’ becomes. When you combine the vulnerability of LANY and Julia Michaels together, they unleash a very beautiful and raw approach to heartbreak that speaks to your soul. “I’m gonna be okay, right? I wish I could tell myself that…
SINGLE REVIEW: G FLIP – I am Not Afraid
Life is unpredictable. There is no handbook to study up on what to expect or on how to deal with situations that may arise. Instead you just have to live life and make it up as you go which is a terrifying concept. How do you do deal with the negative situations? How are you…
EP REVIEW: The Vamps – Missing You
The Vamps debut album was a strong affair. It felt organic but had a big mainstream pop feel to it at the same time. From there the UK four-piece started to divert away from the pop rock sound and headed towards a generic electronic vibe which had exceeded it’s use by date. I’ve been patiently…
