ALBUM REVIEW – Fifth Harmony – Reflection

Love them or hate em there is no denying that the girls from Fifth Harmony are ridiculously talented. On their highly anticipated debut album “Reflection” they showcase their incredible vocal range and smooth harmonies with ease while delivering some strong independently fueled pop/RNB tracks.

GRL have been through a tough couple of months after the tragic loss of fellow member Simone Battle.

SINGLE REVIEW: Kelly Clarkson – Heartbeat Song

Kelly Clarkson usually delivers pop anthems that comfortably sit at the top of the charts but her new pop endeavor falls flat. “Heartbeat Song” lacks substance and fails to build and sustain a level of energy she usually creates effortlessly.

SINGLE REVIEW: Ellie Goulding – Love Me Like You Do

This monstrous pop anthem builds mood perfectly and transitions smoothly from a synth led verse to a dramatic drum filled hook taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Her vocals…
