The hype surrounding Ariana Grande is officially next level. She’s the global superstar who has defied all odds, picked herself up through some very public tough times and has continued to empower and inspire young women with her pure strength through her music. Her fourth studio album ‘Sweetner’ was only released a couple of months…
ALBUM REVIEW: Nina Nesbitt – The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change
“I want something sacred, I want something amazing” Nina Nesbitt confesses in the opening moments of her long awaited and very personal sophomore studio album. ‘The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change’ is a record that doesn’t hide her emotions. Nor does it try to be anyone else, it’s just purely her in…
EP REVIEW: Meghan Trainor – The Love Train
With her third studio album ‘Treat Myself’ meant to be released in January, the pre-order disappeared from ITunes overnight and the listing was replaced with a TBA status. With no real explanation given, it was a bit confusing as to what was happening in the Meghan Trainor camp. But whilst the uncertainty is in the…
SINGLE REVIEW: Vera Blue – Like I Remember You
Vera Blue is the understated indie-pop queen of Australia. Her debut album ‘Perennial’ was a flawless collection of heartbreak and empowerment tracks that saw her unveiling her vulnerability to the world. For her forthcoming sophomore record she’s started heading towards a more polished and romantic sound with the Fleetwood Mac inspired ‘All The Pretty Girls’…
SINGLE REVIEW: Kian – Childism
Solely from the release of his debut single ‘Waiting’, Castlemaine teenager Kian has made a massive impact on the Australian music industry.

Dropping the “And The Diamonds” from her name, Marina has made her comeback after the lacklustre impact her third studio album ‘Froot’ had. In between that time she’s worked on some collaborations, toured (everywhere but Australia) and spent some time figuring out what her next move creatively would be. ‘Handmade Heaven’ is the first taste…
LIVE REVIEW: Lily Allen – The Tivoli
As the chant “Lily, Lily, Lily fucking Allen” broke through the speakers, the sold out Brisbane crowd screamed along with anticipation. Walking on stage donning her classic black wig to pay homage to her sophomore studio album ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ which celebrated its tenth anniversary this week, the crowd lost their mind with…
SINGLE REVIEW Khalid feat. Disclosure – Talk
I think it’s safe to say Khalid is not going to slow down anytime soon with his release schedule. The viral R&B singer seems to constantly release tracks like it’s running out of fashion and his fans do not seem to mind. With is sophomore studio album slated for release later this year he’s just…
SINGLE REVIEW: The Chainsmokers feat. 5 Seconds Of Summer – Who Do You Love
It was the collaboration that I don’t think anyone saw coming. The Chainsmokers and 5 Seconds Of Summer have both individually had some massive success but does that mean they should come together for a song? I’m not entirely sure but it’s happened anyways. ‘Who Do You Love’ is a rock-pop crossover which takes 5SOS’s…
SINGLE REVIEW: Greyson Chance – Shut Up
The evolution of Greyson Chance as an artist is a very exciting and promising journey. The American singer-songwriter has grown so much from the viral breakthrough of his piano cover of Lady Gaga ‘Paparazzi’ in 2010 which saw him globally recognised overnight. But a story has many chapters and Greyson’s is no different. After releasing…
