Redeeming himself one week before his ridiculous 27 track long sophomore record is released, Zayn has dropped a beautiful and simple soaring ballad. ‘Good Years’ is a sweet little moment that you could imagine playing at the end of a tear-jerking drama film with it’s cinematic soundscape. Reflecting on a life in the spotlight he…

The whole electronic pop-rock fusion is becoming a little tiring. I mean, so many bands have done it this year that it’s no longer original or surprising. Bastille teamed up with Marshmello earlier this year for ‘Happier’ which has recently raked in some massive mainstream attention. And whilst the catchy track was a bit of…

2018 has been a bit of a quiet year for Norwegian singer-songwriter Astrid S who only dropped one single for us this year. ‘Emotion’ was a slow-burner track that grew on listeners with it’s dark and moody synth production. Sampling 80’s influences she gave something a little more industrial and experimental. But she wasn’t going…

The 1975 are that aesthetically pleasing band that deliver harmonic synths, cinematic instrumentation and emotional storylines. They’ve always been like that ever since their debut EP and they’re very unapologetic about it. Their third studio album ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’ is a bold and endearing collection of tracks that offers a bigger arena…

For her sophomore record, Alessia Cara has stripped it all back and put her heart out on the line. ‘The Pains Of Growing’ is an honest and raw affair that explores heartbreak, pain and self discovery through a collection of very autobiographical songs. It plays as the big sister to her debut album ‘Know-It-All’ and…

It’s been four years since Clean Bandit released their debut album and within that time they’ve had some massive hit singles, toured the world and even had a dramatic line up change with Neil Amin-Smith shockingly leaving the band in 2016. But from there they’ve spent a long time working on the refined sound for…

I feel like I’ve spent the whole of 2018 talking about how incredible Sasha Sloan is, but she honestly deserves all the praise. The Californian singer-songwriter jumped onto my radar with the double release of tracks ‘Normal’ and ‘Fall’. And instantly I was spellbound in this emotional and relatable world of heartbreak, confusion and self…

The return of Mark Ronson was one of the industry’s worst kept secrets. With everyone catching onto the fact that him and Miley Cyrus were about to drop a new track that marks the first time the two have ever collaborated. ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ is nothing like what you expected but also delivers…

Last year Gabrielle Aplin introduced a groovy new synth-pop sound to her music which saw her stepping away from her usual gloomy piano ballads. It was a creative direction shift that saw a lot of people torn with thoughts. However I loved the layering of her emotional thoughts with a dance ready production which had…

2018 has been a big year for Kwame. The Sydney based producer and rapper has just been crowned Triple J Unearthed’s Artist Of The Year which deservingly comes off the back of a massive year of touring, festival sets and even a highly coveted BigSound showcase. Keeping the momentum rolling he’s just dropped a new…
