ALBUM REVIEW: Cub Sport – LIKE NIRVANA

Cub Sport know how to hit you in the feels every damn time. Finding comfort in the contrast of light and shade, ‘Like Nirvana’ not only cites the hopeful romanticism you’ve come to know and love from the Brisbane four-piece, but it also hears him opening up about his demons, and the internal dark side…

SINGLE REVIEW: Kylie Minogue – Say Something

After a brief experimentation with country-pop on ‘Golden’, Kylie Minogue has returned to her roots for her highly anticipated fifteenth studio album ‘DISCO’, which will be released on November 6.  The lead single ‘Say Something’ sets the sonical pre-tense as she steps back in time to a sound that led her to the top of…

SINGLE REVIEW: Merci, Mercy – Fall Apart

Earlier this year Merci, Mercy joined the chat with her brutally honest debut single ‘Fucked Myself Up’ that combined candid vulnerability with a juxtaposition of bubbly indie-pop production. Quickly gaining quite the strong momentum, the song has surpassed 2.75 million streams on Apple Music and Spotify collectively and marked her as a newcomer you need…

INTERVIEW: Jonas Blue

If you’re listening to the radio during the day or are out dancing at a club at night, it’s highly likely that you will hear at least one Jonas Blue song play during that time.

ALBUM REVIEW: Ellie Goulding – Brightest Blue

Following the bold pop experimentation of ‘Delirium’ in 2015, Ellie Goulding has stripped it all back to her vulnerable foundations for her highly anticipated fourth studio album, ‘Brightest Blue’.  The cohesive collection of tracks is a return to the intimate storytelling that captured the world’s attention on her sophomore album ‘Halcyon’. Every song feels like…

SINGLE REVIEW: CXLOE – 12 Steps

At this point I’m just convinced that CXLOE can do no wrong. The Australian singer-songwriter has continually delivered an array of strong dark-pop songs that are equally brooding, anthemic and catchy. Through their emotive foundations she’s been able to talk about the dark side of the music industry, mental health, love and heartbreak. But now…

SINGLE REVIEW: No Frills Twins – Big Heart

Following in the footsteps of the cinematic freedom that ‘Paper Love’ embodied, the No Frills Twins have successfully captured a bold moment of self acceptance through their honest new single. ‘Big Heart’ is a moment of clarity for both Arna and Vanessa Rogers as they openly address their sexuality and what that discovery has personally…

SINGLE REVIEW: Troye Sivan – Easy

Troye Sivan has never shied away from baring his heart and soul to listeners since the humble beginnings of his debut EP ‘TRXYE. And since then he’s evolved as an artist and as a young man while taking listeners along for that self discovery journey which has soundtracked so many people’s own unique experiences.  Following…

SINGLE REVIEW: Anne-Marie feat. Doja Cat – To Be Young

Anne-Marie knows how to deliver bonafide bops and Doja Cat is on a serious chart assassination at the moment, so I honestly expected something bigger when it was announced these two powerhouses were collaborating. Instead ‘To Be Young’ was a safe fusion of what they’ve both previously done in the past.  It’s not a bad…

SINGLE REVIEW: BENEE feat. Kenny Beats & Bakar – Night Garden

BENEE is one of New Zealand’s biggest success stories since the uprising of Lorde. Following recent performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Ellen Show, and the announcement of a massive homecoming New Zealand tour, the 20 year old singer-songwriter has got a new song for you to immerse yourself within.  ‘Night…
