After releasing the average tracks ‘Perfect’ and ‘The Truth Is There’, Ally Brooke is trying to “re-start” her solo career again. The ex Fifth Harmony vocalist hasn’t had a lot of luck post disbandment and she’s ferociously trying to keep the momentum going with the likes of Normani and Camila Cabello doing so well on…

SINGLE REVIEW: ALMA – When I Die

Continuing on with the experimental sound she introduced on ‘Cowboy’, Finnish singer-songwriter ALMA has delivered yet another unusual but groovy track. ‘When I Die’ hears her throw her own funeral party and she’s unapologetic about it. “When I die, I hope everyone got two drinks in their hands. When I die, I hope it looks…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sheppard – On My Way

Brisbane indie-pop four piece, Sheppard are really a no brainer for Eurovision’s Australia Decides song competition. After all their naturally cheesy indie-pop has seen them top the charts over the years around the world and gain a massive and diverse fan base. So their naturally empowering format is a force to be reckoned with. However…

LIVE REVIEW: Haiku Hands – The Foundry

With Flex Mami on the decks spinning out tracks like ‘Luxury’ from Azalea Banks, ‘Day & Night’ from Kid Cudi and ‘Chameleon’ from PNAU, she instantly turned The Foundry from a usually low key music venue into a full blown nightclub.

LIVE REVIEW: GEORGE EZRA – RIVERSTAGE

It’s always a bold move to hold a show on Triple J’s Hottest 100 Day in Australia but it seemed nothing was going to stop the sold out Brisbane crowd turning up to see George Ezra on his biggest Australian tour yet. It was only a year ago that the English singer-songwriter was playing to…

SINGLE REVIEW: Robinson – Karma

After releasing ‘Nothing To Regret’ early last year, Robinson was quickly added to my must watch list. The New Zealand singer-songwriter impressed with a very honest and captivating sound that was playfully exported from the indie-pop world. After a year of touring with the likes of Hayley Kiyoko and Dean Lewis and releasing a couple…

SINGLE REVIEW: Lauv feat. Troye Sivan – I’m So Tired

Last year Lauv gave us a lot of singles and it doesn’t seem like 2019 will see that pattern changing. The Californian singer-songwriter has already dropped his first track of the year which hears him teaming up with Troye Sivan. ‘I’m So Tired’ is a hyper-emotional indie-pop track that hears him admitting that he’s tired…
