She took full creative control and while people may argue that she hasn’t been as successful with her attempts I don’t think you should underestimate her power. “ANTI” is game changing, genre bending and is brave with the risks she has taken.

SINGLE REVIEW: Zayn – Pillowtalk
Zayn Malik’s solo debut was always going to be hit or miss and luckily for him it has been a good risk to take. “Pillowtalk” is a strong pop track that has him dabbling with RNB influences that compliment his wide range vocals and captivating falsetto.

SINGLE REVIEW: Shakira – Try Everything
Opening like a sequel to “Wake Waka” Shakira’s new single for the film “Zootopia” is a tad predictable. “Try Everything” is a cookie cutter pop track that has her recreating elements of her previous hit singles while hiding her sexuality and dumbing down her appeal. It jumps on the bandwagon of euphoric pop songs with…
ALBUM REVIEW: Rachel Platten – Wildfire
Rachel Platten is one of the industry’s most underrated newcomers. Her mainstream debut is the perfect balance of sass and emotion that showcases her strong songwriting abilities.
