SINGLE REVIEW: POWERS – Heavy

POWERS are a duo who are really under-appreciated. Their unique style of alt-pop has been overshadowed by DNCE who have hit mainstream with a sound that this duo have been doing for a couple of years. “Heavy” is the bands new single before they hit the road with Bridgit Mendler next month and it oozes…

SINGLE REVIEW: Calvin Harris feat. Frank Ocean and Migos – Slide

Calvin Harris is someone who takes risks and doesn’t conform to the current pop edm trends. Well, okay sometimes he does but lets not dwell on that. His new single “Slide” features Frank Ocean and Migos and it’s very good. The groovy track takes Frank Ocean slightly out of his comfort zone with a more…

SINGLE REVIEW: Meghan Trainor – I’m A Lady

So we all know that I’m not the biggest Meghan Trainor supporter but I will always give praise where it is deserved (please refer to my reviews of “No” and “Me Too”). But I can’t help but think her new single for The Smurfs 3 soundtrack is an interesting career move, and that’s no shade….

SINGLE REVIEW: Jason Derulo feat Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign

Jason Derulo had the potential to be one of RNB’s biggest names after the release of his impressive debut album. But he seemed to slowly start losing his credentials by going towards a tacky and gimmicky influenced sound. “Swalla” had been hyped as a massive lead singe for his forthcoming fifth studio album but I…

SINGLE REVIEW: Zedd feat. Alessia Cara – Stay

Zedd is an artist who quite often plays it safe. His production in the pop world is predictable to put it politely and I always find myself wanting a bit more. But it’s come the day that he’s proven me wrong. “Stay” is his brave new collaboration with fiery newcomer Alessia Cara and it’s a…

SINGLE REVIEW: Stan Walker – Messages

It’s been a while since Stan Walker has released music and with the announcement of his comeback he opened up about depression and being unsure if he would ever make music again. And I really wanted to like this song even if it was purely for the euphoric “phoenix rising from the ashes” moment but…

SINGLE REVIEW: The Chainsmokers feat. Coldplay – Something Just Like This

“Paris” and “Closer” were great songs and I gave The Chainsmokers all the props they deserved but it’s no secret that they are VERY overrated. All their beat drops sound the same, their structures are generic and their songs just don’t have that long term potential. They focus on the “now” and the “current” and…

EP REVIEW: Asta – Shine

Well all need some euphoric pop in our life and Asta is here to deliver that to you. Her disco infected electronic pop is a fusion that is missing from mainstream radio and perfectly captures her carefree spirit that comes to life onstage. Her EP “Shine” is a strong collection of 5 tracks that have…

SINGLE REVIEW: Lana Del Rey – Love

BREAKING NEWS: It’s taken a while but it’s finally happened… Lana Del Rey has released a song that rivals her debut album! It’s been a long time since I’ve actually been impressed by this songstress with a string of messy albums that had giant potential but were executed poorly and a fanbase who seemed to…

SINGLE REVIEW: Nelly Furtado – Flatline

Did you know that Nelly Furtado made a comeback last year? Probably not. Except if you followed her on Instagram when she annoyingly re did her whole feed with cryptic black and white grids. On top of releasing some covers she released a couple of songs to introduce her experimental new sound. “Behind Your Back”…
