SINGLE REVIEW: Coldplay – Orphans

The return of Coldplay was one I’ve been really excited about. The British four piece bring a unique kaleidoscope of colours and emotions to this world and have soundtracked highs and lows in a lot of peoples lives.  After some radio silence following the conclusion of their A Head Full Of Dreams World Tour in…

SINGLE REVIEW: Louis Tomlinson – We Made It

Louis Tomlinson was my favourite member of One Direction because there was just something super relatable and honest about him during the whirlwind craziness that this record breaking boyband created.  But in a post-One Direction world, Tomlinson has been one of the most disappointing in his solo endeavours. His songs have had good intentions and…

SINGLE REVIEW: Oh Wonder – Better Now

Last month Oh Wonder made their glorious return with one of my favourite releases of 2019. ‘Hallelujah’ was a euphoric glimpse at what is to come from their forthcoming third studio album. It was an anthem for anyone who has been told no or been told that their goal is unrealistic. It’s something that any…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sody – Nothing Ever Changes

Continuing to unravel her vulnerability, Sody is proving herself to be quite the honest storyteller. In an interview with ThomasBleach.com at the start of the year she confessed that she looks up to the likes of Julia Michaels and Ed Sheeran because of their respective writing traits and the brutal honesty that they inject into…

SINGLE REVIEW: Frank Ocean – DHL

So with the release of his new single, it’s become apparent that Frank Ocean loves the multi-national delivery company DHL.

SINGLE REVIEW: JOJO feat. Chika – Sabotage

JOJO reclaimed her narrative earlier this month when she dropped her introductory comeback track ‘Joanna’ and announced her signing with Warner Bros Records. The bluesy driven RNB track was incredibly stripped back and let her whole heartedly tell her truth. This teaser track was just a little something to hold fans over until the release…

SINGLE REVIEW: Kota Banks – Big Bucks 

We are heading into the thick of summer and we are in desperate need of some anthems to get us through all of the pre-drinks, BBQ’s and parties of the season. And there is one rising Australian singer-songwriter whose body of work perfectly embodies that energy and playfulness you will need to hype your friends…

SINGLE REVIEW: CXLOE – Devil You Don’t

For the past two years I’ve been calling CXLOE the newcomer you need to watch, and the Northern Beaches singer-songwriter has continually rolled out hit after hit proving why she deserves that status.  2019 has been a big year for CXLOE. Following the release of her DIY singles ‘I Can’t Have Nice Things’ and ‘Sick’…
