LIVE REVIEW: Twenty One Pilots – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Four years ago I was packing into the grungy interior of The Zoo to witness Twenty One Pilots play their first headline Brisbane show to a sold out 500 person capacity. Flash forward to 2018 and oh, how times have changed. ‘The Bandito Tour’ marks the dynamic duo’s sixth trip to Australia and their fanbase…
ALBUM REVIEW: Zayn – Icarus Falls
It doesn’t come by much of a surprise that Zayn’s 27 track long sophomore record is a lengthy and monotonous affair. ‘Icarus Falls’ didn’t really seem to stand a chance next to his underrated debut album ‘Mind Of Mine’. This collection of tracks plays as a dark and honest look into his life post-One Direction…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ariana Grande – Imagine
I will be the first one to admit it and say that I wasn’t immediately convinced with ‘Thank U, Next’. But it quickly won me over with it’s empowering and honest delivery.

Announcing that her sixth studio album of the same name will be released…

The future of pop is really exciting and that’s the honest truth.
