SINGLE REVIEW: Benee – Monsta

Look, we love a good ol’ fashioned themed release but when it comes to Halloween, it’s become apparent over the years that it’s hard to get it right. Artists release tacky songs that come across gimmicky and confused in amongst their diverse aesthetics and the shock factor of what they’re trying to do has worn…

SINGLE REVIEW: Hartley – Own

It’s easy to feel misunderstood. To feel that you don’t belong in a world that constantly makes you feel like you’re not good enough. Social media is a strong reasoning behind a lot of self doubt that is created in 2019, but there is still a sense of misogyny impacting a lot of professional industries…

SINGLE REVIEW: Martin Garrix feat. Dean Lewis – Used To Love

In 2017 Martin Garrix collaborated with Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan on the successful and catchy ‘There For You’. With the current worldwide attention on Australia’s vibrant music scene, it was about time that the Dutch producer teamed up with another Australian collaborator. But with the endless supply of choices, he chose Dean Lewis which is…

INTERVIEW: AUSTEN

Behind Austen’s debut EP is a compilation of vulnerable experiences and emotional storylines that outline her growth and reflective journey of discovery. ‘Passenger Seat’ is an impressive introductory collection that has anthemic indie-pop tracks like ‘Too High To Cry’ and ‘Money’ and the dreamy and aesthetically pleasing ‘Young And Numb’ and ‘Anthem’.  After recently joining…

EP REVIEW: Thomston – En Route: Los Angeles/London

Teasing listeners with a drip-feed of singles over the past year, Thomston has made a bold return with dreamy indie-pop songs that embody a whole lot of emotion and raw vulnerability.  With some of his songwriting taking place between Los Angeles and London over the past couple of years, these two geographical locations have also…

ALBUM REVIEW: VÉRITÉ – New Skin

Sometimes It’s hard to just exist within a heavy moment when your heart is feeling lost or confused. But it’s also one of the best times for the creative part of your mind to flow and that’s where the heart of VÉRITÉ’s sophomore record stems from.  ‘New Skin’ is a record all about growth and…

ALBUM REVIEW: King Princess – Cheap Queen

King Princess was one of the biggest breakthrough artists of 2018 after the emotionally charged ‘1950’ and ‘Talia’ went viral worldwide thanks to the public curiosity of her music from Harry Styles. Ever since then, the anticipation has been building for the release of her debut album. Her chilled out, hazy and honest indie-pop has…

ALBUM REVIEW: Kanye West – Jesus Is King

Oh Kanye. I don’t even know where to begin with ‘Jesus Is King’ because this whole journey has been a little messy to say the least. And to be honest, I wonder if he even knew where he was going either because he sounds a little lost in this new sonical world he’s immersed himself…

ALBUM REVIEW: James Blunt – Once Upon A Mind

I didn’t really think that the day would come that I would say that James Blunt released a better album than Kanye West, but it has. Both respective artists have released their new records on the same day, and one was severely over hyped and the other has flown completely under the radar. But upon…

INTERVIEW: VÉRITÉ

When you dive into the back catalogue of VÉRITÉ’s releases, you will find a strong growth of understanding her vulnerability and production happen along the way.
