Sometimes you only need to hear a song once to know it’s really special. And that is what happened in September 2018 at Bigsound when Hazlett premiered an unreleased song called ‘Fireworks’ during his set.

SINGLE REVIEW: Louis Tomlinson – Two Of Us
As a solo artist, Louis Tomlinson hasn’t seemed to have the same success as the other members of One Direction. His vocals have never been the strongest in the band and he was really the key harmoniser and songwriter towards the end of their journey. So it’s hard to hide behind this when it’s just…
SINGLE REVIEW: Sabrina Carpenter – Pushing 20
Sabrina Carpenter is one of pop music’s most underrated artists.

ALBUM REVIEW: Solange – When I Get Home
Surprise albums are always fun. Definitely when it’s from an artist that had such a dynamic and killer previous album because you know it’s going to be good. Or you hope it will be good because otherwise it will be a massive disappointment. Sadly in this case, Solange’s fourth studio album ‘When I Get Home’…
