Heading towards a bold cinematic sound, Hein Cooper sets his eye on a full band approach for his emotionally driven sophomore record. ‘Underneath It All’ showcases a big growth from his minimalistic debut ‘The Art Of Escape’.

LIVE REVIEW: Mansionair – Woolly Mammoth
In amongst the flashing of red strobes and the electronic moody instrumental of ‘EST’, Mansionair took to the Woolly Mammoth stage in Brisbane for the first of two sold out shows. Within the opening vulnerable moments of ‘Alibi’ they quickly had the singalong’s in motion with ‘Hold Me Down’ and ‘Violet City’. Celebrating the release…

ALBUM REVIEW: Madonna – Madame X
Madonna will always be one of the greatest pop artists of all time. She’s successfully reinvented herself more times than you can imagine and has continually raised the bar with her genre pushing sounds and shocking theatrics. I still whole heartedly believe that the ‘Blond Ambition World Tour’ is one of the best pop concerts…
SINGLE REVIEW: Taylor Swift – You Need To Calm Down
I’m not going to hide my disappointment with this new Taylor Swift era. After setting an empowering precedent with her sixth studio record ‘Reputation’ which heard her taking control of her narrative and inspiring female empowerment, she has questionably taken a few steps backwards. ‘ME!’ featuring Brendon Urie was a tacky and gimmicky pop song…
SINGLE REVIEW: Flume feat. London Grammar – Let You Know
With a year of massive festival dates including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Summer Sonic and his Australian return for Listen Out, 2019 is shaping up to be a massive year for Flume.

SINGLE REVIEW: Winston Surfshirt – Make A Move
Nostalgia is in. The dreamy synth heavy soundscape has been a successful backdrop for the likes of Tame Impala and is translating really well onto the current mainstream charts and airplay lists. Lifting the chilled and groovy vibes of his recent material, Winston Surfshirt is offering a dreamy bigger sound. Coinciding with his biggest national…
SINGLE REVIEW: Thomston – Lightweight
Thomston continues to impress listeners with his cinematic influenced tracks as he turns into a bonafide pop star. The New Zealand singer-songwriter impressed listeners last year after returning with the anthemic tracks ‘Acid Rain’ and ‘The Heights’ after his experimental 2016 debut album ‘Topograph’. Reaching towards pop star status, his new single ‘Lightweight’ is another…
SINGLE REVIEW: Tyne-James Organ – Something New
On the back of his east coast run of dates for The Squeeze Festival, Tyne-James Organ has premiered a soulful new single with an angsty touch. ‘Something New’ hears him adding another rock layer to his cinematic approach and giving listeners a massive step up. With his soulful vocals oozing through the first verse whilst…

It’s been a little while in between releases for Shura, but the British singer-songwriter is finally ready to release her sophomore record into the world. ‘Forevher’ will be available on August 16 and hears her continuing to perfect her dreamy indie-pop soundscape. Her new single ‘Religion (U Can Lay Your Hands On Me’ is a…
