BLEACHED

P!nk’s last studio album, ‘Beautiful Trauma’ was a little cookie cutter at best. It was a positive and self-aware version of herself that we hadn’t really experienced before. We are used to the emotional and brash “fuck you” spirited singer-songwriter who has engaged audiences for over 17 years. But now with two kids and begin…

If you told me that this song was the lead single for the soundtrack of Despicable Me 4, Toy Story 32 or Shrek 12 then I would understand the direction. However, it’s not and I’m very confused as to what Taylor Swift is doing. Her ‘Reputation’ era saw her claiming a whole new confidence and…

Holy Holy are no strangers to the heavy rotation circulation of Triple J with multiple of their songs getting the big spins like ‘Faces’ and ‘Elevator’ and it seems like the Melbourne duo have no signs of slowing down. Their new single ‘Teach Me About Dying’ is another anthemic indie-rock track that punches a giant…

Moving away from the pure pop stylings her first two records introduced, Zara Larsson is heading towards a more rhythmic and moody production for her third studio album. Teaming up with Marshmello for the hype track ‘WOW’, she gets listeners vibing along to the dark electronic cut. Describing the sort of love she feels from…

Soaked in nostalgic 80’s synths, Aly & AJ have returned stronger than they’ve ever been. Your early 2000’s Disney favourites provided some sassy anthems that ignited your childhood but now as they’ve matured into adults they are diving into some heavier and moodier themes. Their reflective new single ‘Don’t Go Changing’ comes just a week…

I’m not going to lie, this is not a collaboration I ever expected to happen. I mean Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy teaming up with the Thrift Shop master Macklemore and EDM’s golden boy Martin Garrix? But I’m definitely here for it. Reminiscing about summer love they re-tell those fun, simple and careless moments…

The Chainsmokers took to social media to announce that they were worried about releasing a song on the same day as Taylor Swift. But really, these guys didn’t have anything to worry about. Not only is there material completely different to what Swift will be dropping, they have also recently found a new edge with…

It’s quite exciting that anxiety and depression are being talked about more openly now in social contexts because for so long it was taboo or really misunderstood. Where as now we have more people talking up about it and normalising their experiences which makes the future of education for these issues more promising. Another artist…

Thelma Plum has never been one to be afraid to speak her mind. She will say the honest truth and never holds back. She will proudly stand up when something seems wrong and she will plead for justice to prevail. On her new single ‘Better In Blak’, she stands up against people who were trying…

It’s safe to say the hype around the return of Marina wasn’t what she or her label expected. It had been four years in between records and people were genuinely interested to see where she would sonically go next. By fronting her return with ‘Handmade Heaven’ and ‘Baby’ she left listeners a little underwhelmed with…
