The soothing and reflective vocals of Rob Thomas soundtracked a major part of my childhood through the classic Matchbox Twenty songs ‘Unwell’, ‘Push’, ‘3AM’ and ‘How Far We’ve Come’ which all dominated at radio. But on the side of fronting this incredible band, Thomas also has a very successful side project which heard him also…

AJR have grown a lot as artists since debuting with the ridiculously catchy ‘I’m Ready’ in 2014 which a lot of people assumed was just a gimmicky pop track. But instead it was a smart (and slightly annoying) genre pushing track that implemented some cool DIY themes. From there the three-piece have released a string…

It’s been a long time between releases for FKA Twigs. The English singer-songwriter was first introduced to the world with her highly acclaimed debut album ‘LP1’ which showcased her unique sound and visual imagery that also saw her immediately touring the world and selling out shows.

The Vamps debut album was a strong affair. It felt organic but had a big mainstream pop feel to it at the same time. From there the UK four-piece started to divert away from the pop rock sound and headed towards a generic electronic vibe which had exceeded it’s use by date. I’ve been patiently…

If you read my review on Dinah Jane’s debut single ‘Bottled Up’ then you are already aware of my thoughts on the ex Fifth Harmony member. But if you haven’t, then all you need to know is that I thought the debut was a lacklustre and unimpressive attempt. In hindsight she only had one direction…

It’s been a long time coming but Olivia O’Brien’s debut album ‘Was It Even Real?’ is finally being released next week. This is exciting news because her sound has been rapidly growing and evolving into something very mature ever since her mainstream introduction through ‘I Hate U, I Love U’. Following on from the self-empowering…

In less than a month Carly Rae Jepsen is going to release her highly anticipated fourth studio album ‘Dedicated’ which is promised to be a collection of synth pop goodness.
