Within the opening fade out of the chorus “It’s never gonna work out, It’s never ever ever gonna work out” you instantly know that this song is going to be a groovy little moment. ‘Work Out’ is the third track from Openside’s new project ‘Episode One: Character Flaws’. The New Zealand pop-rock outfit deliver a…
SINGLE REVIEW: Maisie Peters – Details
Heartbreak is a powerful and confronting thing. It can either break you as a person and scare you from ever feeling that vulnerable again or it can inspire you to learn from your mistakes and continually grow as you navigate your way through life. As an artist, it can also creatively inspire you to create…
SINGLE REVIEW: Mariah Carey feat Ty Dolla $ign – The Distance
Following the announcement of her fifteenth studio album ‘Caution’, the ultimate diva that you can’t help but love has dropped a new single to get you vibing. ‘The Distance’ hears Mariah Carey further exploring the RNB elements that her last couple of albums have headed towards whilst still offering a shiny pop polish.

SINGLE REVIEW: Tove Styrke – Vibe
Tove Styrke really loves to constantly deliver some ultimate bangers.

SINGLE REVIEW: James Arthur – Empty Space
There’s just something about James Arthur that I find really insincere. Over the years he’s written some heartfelt and vulnerable tracks which ideally should create a massive impact but sadly his delivery lacks a genuine feel. Whilst he may be singing about these heartbreaking feelings, I don’t necessarily believe him or feel for him within…
SINGLE REVIEW: Neiked feat Miriam Bryant – How Did I Find You

Now, the two Swedish artists have joined forces again for the indie-pop gem ‘How Did I Find You’. This is a track which has a…
SINGLE REVIEW: Zayn – Fingers
Zayn’s release schedule is a little confusing. There doesn’t seem to be any consistency or flow to when he’s releasing or what he’s releasing. But at the moment he’s just putting out music as he pleases with material that he’s digging. His sonical fusions have taken listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions that dive deep…
SINGLE REVIEW: Cher Lloyd – None Of My Business
It’s the redemption story that you’ve been patiently waiting for. Cher Lloyd topped that charts in 2012 with her infectiously catchy singles ‘Want U Back’, ‘Oath’ and ‘With Ur Love’. But her recent attempt to make a comeback with the lacklustre ‘Activated’ last year saw her taking an extended break to further experiment with her…
MUSIC NEWS: Good Things Sideshows

INTERVIEW: Last Dinosaurs
Stepping out of the spotlight and escaping to the isolated mountains of Arita, Japan to work on their third studio album was probably the best decision Last Dinosaurs could have made. This Brisbane trio have returned with a collection of bright and punchy indie-rock tracks with a experimental psychedelic twist. It was here they re-found…
