SINGLE REVIEW: Charli XCX – Focus / No Angel

Charli XCX’s third studio album has been a long time coming and I’ve slightly given up on the fact that we are ever going to receive it. But that’s okay because instead she’s dropping new songs and mixtapes like there’s no tomorrow. In 2017 she delivered two incredibly catchy and colourful mixtapes that really embodied…

SINGLE REVIEW: Lakyn – Sweet Days

Melbourne singer-songwriter Lakyn has once again returned with another chilled out and captivating track. The nostalgic ‘Sweet Days’ hears him reflecting on that past and how its important to live in the present and not dwell too much on what has happened. The production continues the electronic influenced acoustic sound his latest singles ‘West’ and…

SINGLE REVIEW: SACHI feat. E^ST – Hollywood Angel

In the second half of 2017 New Zealand production duo SACHI delivered the underrated banger Ride with Thomston. They’ve now unleashed their first track of 2018 and it’s a big one. They’ve teamed up with E^ST for ‘Hollywood Angel’ which is a playful electronic pop track full of sass, wit and packs a ridiculously catchy…

SINGLE REVIEW: One Republic – Connection

It’s no secret that One Republic’s fourth studio album “Oh My My’ was a little bit of a dud. After the massive success of ‘Native’ I think everyone expected something a little more anthemic, empowering and feel good instead of the generic try-hard pop we were receiving. For the lead single from their forthcoming fifth…

SINGLE REVIEW: Dean Lewis – Be Alright

Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis had a massive 2017. Not only did his debut single ‘Waves’ hear him break him through the Australian market but he also made a name for himself in America after the song featured on hit TV shows Riverdale, Suits and Greys Anatomy. After the release of his EP, a sold out…

ALBUM REVIEW: Panic! At The Disco – Pray For The Wicked

It’s 2006 and Panic! At The Disco have bursted onto the mainstream pop-rock scene and no one could have prepared for the impact this band would have over the next twelve years. Even with a constant changing line up there are two things that haven’t changed and that’s Brendon Urie’s vocal and lyric impact as…

ALBUM REVIEW: Bebe Rexha – Expectations

Bebe Rexha’s debut album has been a long time in the making but the New York singer-songwriter’s hard work has finally paid off. ‘Expectations’ is a bold and eclectic body of work that hears her showcasing her RNB roots along with her pop-rock polish. This record is very pop orientated and highlights her undeniable strengths…

ALBUM REVIEW: Jack River – Sugar Mountain

Australian singer-songwriter Jack River is really making a name for herself as of late. The Sydney local is no stranger to the touring circuit and she’s brought her mix of vulnerable and empowerful pop-rock to stages all across the country and is about to do the same again with a massive run of festival and…

SINGLE REVIEW: Florence + The Machine – Big God

With her fourth studio album just around the corner Florence + The Machine has released one final single before the big reveal. ‘Big God’ is a little different to lead single ‘Hunger’ but it is no less anthemic in it’s delivery. The brassy track embodies a lot of percussion along with big harmonies and a…

SINGLE REVIEW: Neiked – Old School Love

I heard Neiked’s debut single ‘Sexual’ very early on and quickly called it one of the best tracks of 2016 and guess what… a couple of months later it was on heavy rotation everywhere. Since then we haven’t really heard much from the mysterious Swedish production group except for the playful ‘Call Me’ which followed…
