Zara Larsson’s sophomore studio album was fiery, addictive and lush but I did expect it to have a bigger impact than it ended up happening. Because not only was the songwriting great but the production was almost pop perfection. Her follow up single ‘Ruin My Life’ was everything anyone wanted it to be; sassy, relatable…
SINGLE REVIEW: Khalid – Self
With his sophomore studio album ‘Free Spirit’ out next week, Khalid has dropped one final song to tie you over to the big release. ‘Self’ is a introspective self-reflection on what makes him anxious. It looks at all of the wins that he’s had which makes his failures even bigger in his mind. What happens…
SINGLE REVIEW: The Chainsmokers – Kills You Slowly
With their new album on “coming soon” status, it’s expected that this record will drop in time for their massive (and confusing) co-headlining tour with 5 Seconds Of Summer. To keep the momentum going they’ve dropped another new single which tries to replicate their interesting EDM they’ve been recently delivering. But sadly it just doesn’t…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ciara – Thinkin’ Bout You
The return of Ciara is a little underrated but we need to be talking about it STAT. ‘Level Up’ and ‘Dose’ were bold moments of pure energy that showed listeners that she could still write a catchy as fuck track that would become stuck on your mind and have you picturing insane choreography. She followed…
SINGLE REVIEW: Flume feat. Reo Cragun – Friends
BANGER! BANGER! BANGER! Whilst everyone was frothing over Flume’s new mixtape ‘Hi This Is Flume’, I was a little opinionated about it because it was produced well but just lacked the impact that Flume’s previous material had made. I was waiting for a song to make an impression that made me go “yep, he’s back”….
SINGLE REVIEW: Middle Kids – Real Thing
Middle Kids are about to kick off their ‘Real Thing Australian Tour’ next week so it only seems appropriate that they drop the title track before they embark on this massive run of dates. Taken from their new EP ‘New Songs For Old Problems’ which is out on May 24, this track continues the grungey…
SINGLE REVIEW: Aly & AJ – Church
Returning in a neon colour of 80’s soaked synth, Aly & AJ have given you a mix of emotionally raw lyrics and polished hooks whilst showcasing a whole lot of artistic maturity. The dynamic sister duo gained massive traction of streaming platforms Spotify and Apple Music with Take Me’, ‘I Know’ and ‘Good Love’ which…
SINGLE REVIEW: P!nk – Hustle
Where’s the old P!nk gone? Where is the sassy rage filled choruses about heartbreak and cheating? Where is the fuel gone for some of you favourite anthems? That’s what I’ve found myself asking over the past couple of years. With the release of ‘Beautiful Trauma’ I realised that she’s fairly happy right now and feeling…
INTERVIEW: Kyle Lionhart
From the beach side landscape of Byron Bay, Kyle Lionhart has introduced an emotionally driven acoustic collection of tracks over the years that also dive into relaxed summer vibes. With his new single ’So Close’ out in the world he introduces a bigger energy that hears him getting closer to those big festival crowds that…
SINGLE REVIEW: Sky Ferreira – Downhill Lullaby
It’s been six years in-between releases for Sky Ferreira and that is honestly a VERY long time. It would be ridiculous to think that an artist can come back from that long of a break and sound exactly the same because obviously there would have been a lot of growth not only artistically during that…
