Conrad Sewell’s debut album has been a long time coming but it’s that same time that has ensured that this release is as authentic as possible. The Brisbane based singer-songwriter made his breakthrough into the industry in 2014 through the Kygo collaboration ‘Firestorm’ and from there he topped the ARIA charts with ‘Start Again’ and…
ALBUM REVIEW: Carly Rae Jepsen – Dedicated
Floating in dreamy nostalgic synths and 80’s inspired hooks, Carly Rae Jepsen’s fourth studio album ‘Dedicated’ is further proof that she is the pop star we need in the world. Majority of people dismiss her relevancy and raw talent because of the gimmicky foundations of her breakthrough single ‘Call Me Maybe’ but there is a…
LIVE REVIEW: Amy Shark – Riverstage
Amy Shark’s triumphant homecoming show at The Riverstage wasn’t just a celebration of a Queensland girl coming home after a whirlwind world tour but it also marked her biggest headlining show to date.

ALBUM REVIEW: Alex Lahey – The Best Of Luck Club
Alex Lahey’s debut album ‘I Love You Like A Brother’ was a bold and autobiographical affair that saw her gaining a lot of momentum in the Australian and international touring market.

SINGLE REVIEW: OneRepublic – Rescue Me
Ever since the release of OneRepublic’s fourth studio album ‘Oh My My’, I’ve been questioning if the dynamic five piece had lost their spark. For this record they headed towards an EDM influenced pop sound that felt confused and uninspired. They were trying to keep up with the current trends surrounding them on the charts…
SINGLE REVIEW: Washington – Dirty Churches
Over the past year Washington has been dropping nostalgia filled and synth layered tracks with vulnerable thoughts and slick hooks. The distinct directional shift started in 2017 with a premiere performance at BigSound of her new material followed by some orchestral shows. Since then the Brisbane based singer-songwriter dropped the dreamy single ‘Claws’ and ‘American…
SINGLE REVIEW: Charli XCX feat. Lizzo – Blame It On Your Love
Earlier this week Charli XCX and Lizzo announced that they were coming to save pop music and we all believed them. After all, a collaboration between these two pop music innovators could only be thought as epic.
