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
This isn’t the first time Neiked and Miriam Bryant have collaborated. Last year they gave us the little bop ‘Rocket’ which has gained over 17 million streams on Spotify alone. 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
There has been a little bit of a gap in the Australian rock scene ever since we lost Soundwave in 2015. But with the recent success of UNIFY and Download Festival, it has sparked the birth of a brand new touring festival that is going to excite the punk-rock lovers of Australia. The inaugural event,…
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…
SINGLE REVIEW: Major Lazer feat Tove Lo – Blow That Smoke
2018 has been a bit of a quiet year for Tove Lo which is a little bit surprising after she only brought out an album at the end of last year and didn’t seem to really do any touring for it except for playing a couple of festivals. Instead she’s been in the studio working…
SINGLE REVIEW: Sasha Sloan – Chasing Parties
Your favourite sad girl of 2018 has yet another song for you to drink your feelings to. Or cry to. Whatever floats your boat. But what is for certain is that Sasha Sloan is an incredibly deep and powerful songwriter. She has this natural ability to write so vulnerably but deliver it in such an…
SINGLE REVIEW: Thomston – The Heights
Earlier this year New Zealand singer-songwriter, Thomston delivered one of my low-key favourite pop tracks of 2018. ‘Acid Rain’ was a minimalistic indie-pop moment about realising someone is bad for you and learning to let go. The production elevated an empowering vibe whilst still being vulnerable, emotional and catchy. Returning with yet another bold track, he shares…
INTERVIEW: Eves Karydas
In the midst of glittery, synth-soaked production comes a very vulnerable and intimate story of love, loss and self reflection. Eves Karydas’ debut album ‘summerskin’ is an intimate affair that at moments does feel like an open page to the most personal pages of her diary. After returning to the music industry late last year…
