Evolving over the past couple of years Marina And The Diamonds have given us indie pop realness (“The Family Jewels”) and has shown us a quirky bubblegum pop alter ego (“Electra Heart”). For her third studio album she has stripped everything back and has returned to her roots opening up to her fans once again….

SINGLE REVIEW: Jason Derulo – Want To Want Me
I’m really glad Jason Derulo has finally got over that annoying RNB sound he somehow made popular with “Talk Dirty” and “Wiggle”. Returning to a more pop influenced sound he has premiered the first single from his forthcoming studio album. “Want To Want Me” is an overall catchy track that fuses pop and RNB well…
SINGLE REVIEW: Maroon 5 Feat. Nicki Minaj – Sugar (REMIX)
Maroon 5 have just kicked off their biggest world tour to date and they are currently sitting comfortably in the top 10 charts with recent viral single “Sugar”. And what does every hit single need? A hot remix that’s what and Maroon 5 have signed, sealed and delivered a pretty fiery one. With a feature…
SINGLE REVIEW: Jordin Sparks Feat. 2 Chainz – Double Tap
“Double Tap” may just be the worst song of 2015 and possibly ever. Jordin Sparks usually provides the inspiring pop bops that sit comfortably in the Top 10 Charts but this new song and image is challenging that. The title may mislead you, it’s not a sexual innuendo themed song, no no, it’s about a…
SINGLE REVIEW: Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You
In 2011 Carly Rae Jepsen came into our lives with the ridiculously catchy ‘Call Me Maybe” but with some time on Broadway last year she kind of disappeared from our lives. But don’t fret because she’s back with a track that is nearly as catchy and will destroy your lives all over again. “I…
ALBUM REVIEW: Kelly Clarkson – Piece By Piece
Kelly Clarkson is back happier than ever and offering you some positive and reflective pop songs on her average sixth studio album “Piece By Piece”. As a whole the album isn’t as strong as previous records and offers two types of mid tempo pop tracks; boring and impressive. Opening the album with the synthtastic lead…
LIVE REVIEW: Ciara – Arc Nightlife
Ciara’s tour of Australia and New Zealand has been surrounded with controversy about short sets, cancelled appearances and no meet n greets. The Brisbane show started off with some major hiccups. The show was held at Brisbane’s newest RNB club Arc Nightlife and they didn’t impress with their unprofessional, rude and unorganized staff and…

While the world is patiently waiting for more details on the highly anticipated “R8”, Rihanna is ready to give us some more new music. “Towards The Sun” is the official lead single from the new children’s movie “Home” that she is also a voice actress in. Delivering a glorious and uplifting hook this song is…
EP REVIEW: Chase Atlantic – Nostalgia
Chase Atlantic are an independent Australian three piece who continue to impress with their dark, moody and daringly honest tracks. Their second EP “Nostalgia” offers an improved and refined sound taking influence from acts like The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys. Taking a modern approach to rock they experiment with EDM and pop techniques to give…
SINGLE REVIEW: Nate Ruess – Nothing Without Love
Taking a hiatus from Fun to explore solo projects one could only assume that lead singer Nate Ruess wanted to experiment with new sounds and songwriting techniques. With his debut single “Nothing Without Love” premiering you wouldn’t be wrong to assume it was Fun if you heard it on the radio. Using the same formula…
