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…

SINGLE REVIEW: The Veronicas – On Your Side

The Veronicas gave you EDM-Pop realness and a whole lot of feels on their last bop “In Your Blood” and whilst they have been a bit quiet recently they are ready to do it all over again. Their fourth studio album is slated for a early 2017 release and the duo’s second single continues the…

ALBUM REVIEW: One Republic – Oh My My

The wait between One Republic’s last album “Native” and their follow up fourth studio album has been long and blatantly overdue. “Oh My My” is a heavy produced pop/rock collection that floats between experimental and predictable. Ryan Tedder is a lyrical genius who has produced some of the biggest and best pop songs over the…

SINGLE REVIEW: Bruno Mars – 24K Magic

The return of Bruno Mars was highly anticipated and maybe a tiny bit over hyped. “24K Magic” isn’t entirely what you expected or wanted. Think “The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air” theme song crossed with Macklemore’s “Downtown”. Now I know that sounds pretty epic but the delivery just isn’t. He gives you funk and attitude…

ALBUM REVIEW: Solange – A Seat At The Table

Solange has always been comfortably sitting in older sister Beyonce’s shadow but it’s time she emerges and tells her story. Her third studio album “A Seat At The Table” offers a refreshing outlook on black culture and black womens rights. It’s a step toward the direction Beyonce perfected on “Lemonade” but stands as it’s own…

SINGLE REVIEW: GRL – Kiss Myself

GRL had the potential to be one the industry’s hottest girl group but after the death of Simone Battle, Fifth Harmony took that place. With the disbandment and line up change original members Lauren Bennett and Natasha Slayton have revived the group with new addition Jazzy Meija. The trio’s first single is a mid-tempo RNB/dance…

SINGLE REVIEW: Cashmere Cat feat. Selena Gomez – Trust Nobody

Selena Gomez may have just announced the cancellation of her World Tour and an unexpected career break due to exhaustion but that doesn’t mean her collaborations won’t stop rolling out. Cashmere Cat’s new single features the songstress in a mid-temp dance track that captures her sultry vocals and her urban direction that “Hands To Myself”…

SINGLE REVIEW: Niall Horan – This Town

While the world is starting to forget Zayn Malik’s solo career another ex One Direction member has surprise attacked the world with an announcement of his solo project. Niall Horan has been very quiet while he’s been globe trotting on a well deserved holiday where he notably stayed in hostels and blended in with the…

SINGLE REVIEW: DNCE – Body Moves

DNCE have stood by their bold statement and have become your favourite new band with their infectious hooks and ridiculously captivating live performances. They’ve finally confirmed the release of their debut album in November and the first single is here, and no surprise, it’s catchy. “Body Moves” continues their funk sound with a big pop…

ALBUM REVIEW: Shawn Mendes – Illuminate

I have an unpopular opinion and that is that Shawn Mendes is very overrated. His debut album “Handwritten” was a bit pre-mature and had some great musical ideas that needed improvement. However we were blessed with “Stitches” and “Life Of The Party” from that collection as well as “I Know What You Did Last Summer”…
