Lady Gaga is a forever evolving artist who continues to not only just re-invent herself but also never gives into cliche standards. If you are looking for or wanting a “Bad Romance 2.0” then give up now because you are never going to get one. “Joanne” is Gaga’s fifth studio album and she strips it…

ALBUM REVIEW: Katy Steele – Human
Ever since I first heard that Katy Steele was releasing a solo album I have been very un-chill about my excitement towards this project. “Human” is an album that could have never been released by Little Birdy and that is a great thing. This album perfectly captures who she is as an artist and provides…
ALBUM REVIEW: Sabrina Carpenter – EvOlution
It’s not often that a sophomore album exceeds its predecessor but Sabrina Carpenter has done just that. Okay, maybe that wasn’t so hard because her debut was a cheesy mess that didn’t really allow the listener to get to know her as an artist but “EvOlution” re-writes those wrongs. Giving you sultry, sassy and experimental…
ALBUM REVIEW: The Naked And Famous – Simple Forms
New Zealand indie-electronic outfit The Naked And Famous may have re-located to Los Angeles but they are still holding onto their musical roots with their third studio album. “Simple Forms” holds onto their indie-pop/rock sound but expands on a bigger synth-pop experimentation that “Young Blood” and “Punching In A Dream” established on their debut. Album…
ALBUM REVIEW: JoJo – Mad Love
We have been deprived of a JoJo album for 10 years and that really is an upsetting statistic. Luckily for us though she is back and better than ever. Her third studio album “Mad Love” is an experimental and bold collection of tracks that document her struggles and triumphs making this her most intimate yet….
ALBUM REVIEW: Lisa Mitchell – Warriors
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve heard from Lisa Mitchell and after her sophomore studio album “Bless This Mess” almost went un-noticed I was unsure if we would get to hear this vulnerable voice again. But thankfully she’s been resurrected with the experimental “Warriors”. This album steps away from the comfortable indie-pop and…
ALBUM REVIEW: Banks – The Altar
When an artist releases a sophomore studio album after having such a strong debut I get a little nervous. What if their sound is different, what if their lyrical content isn’t as strong and what if the production is messy and rushed. This is constantly the case for a lot of new artists after they…
SINGLE REVIEW: The Vamps – All Night feat. Matoma
When The Vamps bursted onto the scene with their debut album they seemed unstoppable with their catchy hooks, cheeky lyrics and their heavenly looks. But then their sophomore studio album happened. And while their looks hadn’t changed, their sound got kind of…. well boring. With low album sales and a distinctively smaller touring route the…
SINGLE REVIEW: Little Mix – Shout Out To My Ex
Little Mix continue to deliver the self empowerment jams with the release of their lead single for their fourth studio album “Glory Days” but what happens when their song is a close replica to another girl groups hit single? “Shoutout To My Ex” may be a carefree, empowerful and cheeky ode to the exes who…
SINGLE REVIEW: Maroon 5 – Don’t Wanna Know feat. Kendrick Lamar
Over the past couple of years Maroon 5 have shifted from their pop/rock sound and have approached a heavier injected pop direction that is steered towards mainstream radio. I’m not completely complaining because “Sugar”, “Moves Like Jagger” and “Payphone” were absolute bangers but on the other end of the spectrum “Daylight”, “This Summer” and their newest single…
