I may have been the only person to be excited about this comeback but The Ting Tings return to music in 2014 was pretty great. Lead Single “Wrong Club” brought a Daft Punk inspired sound to the table with an infectious hook that wouldn’t leave your head. It wasn’t a commercial hit and you probably…

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Raury
2015 will be a big year for rap newcomer Raury. You may not know his name yet but trust me, you will want to. His unique blend of rap and alternative roots is intriguing and cites influences from Kid Cui to Bon Iver. Hailing from Atlanta he spent 2014 on the road promoting his singles…
ALBUM REVIEW: FKA Twigs – LP1
FKA Twigs was one of the most talked about breakthrough artists of 2014 and her debut album deserves all the praise. “LP1” is an eclectic fusion of electronic RNB with soothing pop vocals that showcases Tahliah Barnett (FKA Twigs) as an extraordinary producer, writer and singer. Lyrically vulnerable and honest she addresses the insecurities and…
SINGLE REVIEW – Kanye West – Only One
When the clock ticked over into the New Year there were speculation that Rihanna would release a new single or that Beyoncé would drop a new album but it was actually Kanye West that surprised everyone.

ALBUM REVIEW: Olly Murs – Never Been Better
There’s no denying that Olly Murs has the talent and charisma to make it really far in this industry. He’s drawn comparisons to heavyweights Robbie Williams and Justin Timberlake and after seeing him live in 2013 I can back those claims up. I really wanted to like his fourth studio album but nothing could save…
ALBUM PREVIEW: Madonna – Rebel Heart
I would hate to be in Madonna’s team over the past couple of days with the leak of album demo’s circulating the web. She’s a perfectionist, a business woman and a control freak to put it politely so we’ve been awaiting her next move and damn has she got us excited. To counterattack the hackers…
