SINGLE REVIEW: Mike Posner – Move On

I don’t really hide the fact that I think ‘I Took A Pill In Ibiza’ is one of the most overrated songs in history. It’s just a fairly generic and average track that got lucky when Seeb’s remix helped the song break through mainstream media. And it doesn’t help that Mike Posner isn’t the most…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sody – Whole

It’s not often that a demo recording gets officially released but in Sody’s situation this artistic move felt very right. When a song embodies the raw emotions and understanding that ‘Whole’ does then it deserves to be told in an intimate and honest way. And what she’s done with this song is stripped it back…

SINGLE REVIEW: Mika – Sound Of An Orchestra

It’s been twelve years since Mika captivated the world with his colourful, vibrant and euphoric debut album ‘Life In Cartoon Motion’ which embodied a very bold and fulfilling pop sound. Since then the English singer-songwriter has been releasing underrated albums that are full of little pop gems that deserve to be heard. With his fifth…

SINGLE REVIEW: Cub Sport – Summer Lover

With their self-titled third studio album only around the corner, Brisbane indie-pop favourites Cub Sport have decided to give their fans a little early christmas present. ‘Summer Lover’ serves as the final song on the record and is ironically only the second track we’ve heard from this collection. The dreamy and nostalgic track continues the…

LIVE REVIEW: Paul Kelly – Riverstage

‘How To Make Gravy’ isn’t your normal Christmas song, and maybe that’s why Australians have embraced it so much. The fictional but sweeping story of a man named Joe writing to his family from prison apologising for his actions and regretting that he’s missing the Christmas festivities with his loved ones is a touching and…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sam Smith – Fire On Fire

Let’s be honest, Sam Smith’s creativity thrives when he is heartbroken and he once again proves that fact with the emotional lead single for the Netflix adaption of ‘Watership Down’. With the cinematic mood of ‘Fire On Fire’ immediately being set through the opening piano rhythm that interwinds through soothing guitar strums he builds an…

SINGLE REVIEW: Dido – Friends

Can you really say you’ve lived if you haven’t passionately sung Dido’s ‘White Flag’ naively without experiencing the pain she’s vulnerably describing? yeah, that really is a mood isn’t it. But over the years that song has become an anthem of hope and love which you’ve probably become well acquainted with that desperate fighting feeling….

SINGLE REVIEW: Ally Brooke – The Truth Is There

Whenever a popular group disbands there is always talk about who is going to be the most and least successful in the wake. And obviously no one wants to be noted as the artist that holds the least impact but sadly in Fifth Harmony’s case, Ally Brooke is that individual. Her solo career has been…
