ALBUM REVIEW: P!NK – Beautiful Trauma

P!nk is an artist who doesn’t really need an introduction. She’s remained one of the biggest names in pop for the past 17 years and continually breaks records with each record and tour she releases. Her seventh studio album “Beautiful Trauma” is expected to do the same with the songstress scheduled to be in Australia…

SINGLE REVIEW: Jessie Reyez – Phone Calls

It truly confuses me that more people aren’t talking about Jessie Reyez. Her debut EP is one of my favourite releases of the year because of its brutal honesty and musical versatility. Not only did she tackle hip-hop and pop but she stripped it down with acoustic RNB influences on the smash single “Figures” and…

SINGLE REVIEW: Safia – Cellophane Rainbow

SAFIA are one of Australia’s most exciting acts. They have been on my radar ever since opening for Lorde in 2014 and have continued to grow as a band musically with the release of their impressive debut album “Internal” last year. Since it’s release they have been touring non stop spreading their colourful electronic pop…

SINGLE REVIEW: Daya – New

Daya is severely underrated. Her polished synth pop saw her debut album standing out as a mature collection of breakthrough material. A year later the Pittsburgh songstress has finally released the lead single from her forthcoming sophomore record and impressively see her growing as an artist. The dreamy electronic pop track is a step up…

SINGLE REVIEW: Kiiara – Wishlist

Kiiara’s musical style is very eclectic and over the past two years we have seen her grow and evolve as an artist. Dabbling between electropop, trap and RNB she continues to intrigue with her production while still evoking raw emotion through her lyrical delivery. Her new single “Wishlist” slightly strips it back to her roots…

SINGLE REVIEW: Peking Duk feat. Icona Pop – Let You Down

When pressing play I really was expecting a monster electronic pop track. After all Peking Duk and Icona Pop have respectively released some of the biggest songs over the past couple years and they both know how to write EPIC hooks. However instead what we received was a basic formula of average beats and an…

SINGLE REVIEW: Mallrat – Better

“Better” is a new direction for the self proclaimed “Hannah Montana of the rap game”. It hears Mallrat heading towards a shinier pop sound that could finally see her breaking through the mainstream market. Her debut EP “Uninvited” was an impressive collection of awkwardly brilliant indie-pop meets rap meets electronic tracks. Over the past year…

SINGLE REVIEW: Fickle Friends – Hard To Be Myself

There’s just something about Fickle Friends. I’m a sucker for their infectious indie-pop that is injected with slick electronic synths and catchy hooks. Hailing from Brighton in the UK, this captivating five piece have been on my radar since the release of their debut EP “Velvet” in 2015. Over time they have evolved as a…

SINGLE REVIEW: Louis Tomlinson – Just Like You

So it finally happened, Louis Tomlinson actually released a good song. The EX One Direction member struggled to deliver something memorable with the painfully average “Just Hold On” and “Back For You” which both had massive potential. Previously his vocal production sounded budget and heard him come across a bit nasally and whiny. For his…

ALBUM REVIEW: St. Vincent – Masseduction

St Vincent’s fifth studio album “Masseducation” is easily her biggest and boldest record yet. Working alongside Jack Antonoff (from Bleachers) they have produced 13 honest, quirky and heartbreaking tracks. Fusing together a sound that sources influences from rock, electronica, pop and folk this record is insanely eclectic. There are moments of chaotic and satirical production…
