Nick Murphy is the new project from Chet Faker and after launching this new era in 2016 his long-awaited sophomore studio album has been one we’ve started to question if it would ever come. Luckily it is and ‘Run Fast Sleep Naked’ will be out in the world sooner than you think. With a April…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ruby Fields – Climate
‘Dinosaurs’ was one of the biggest Australian songs of 2018. And rightfully so because the song was a beautiful and anthemic reflection on growing up which struck a cord with a whole new wave of fans. Playing to packed crowds in the early afternoon during the Laneway Festival tour she premiered a couple of new…
SINGLE REVIEW: The Black Keys – Lo/Hi
It’s been five years since we last got new music from The Black Keys, so it’s long overdue, right? If you’ve been a long term fan of the American duo then you will be happy to know that their sound hasn’t changed but if you’re expecting some sort of evolution then don’t listen to this…

The hype surrounding Billie Eilish is crazy.

But over the years she’s started to turn heads with her unconventional pop which is…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ava Max – So Am I
The breakthrough success of ‘Sweet But Psycho’ was completely unexpected but also understandable. This dark-pop track saw Ava Max stepping into a polished delivery that was catchy, relatable and different.

SINGLE REVIEW: Perto feat. Dani Poppitt & Other – Gone
The future of music is honestly in the very capable hands of the youth. With artists like Billie Eilish, Ruel, Sody and Grace Vanderwaal absolutely killing it in their own respective lanes you can’t help but feel pretty content with the direction we are heading in as a community. An artist to add to that…
