INTERVIEW: Handsome
Handsome is the new project from Sydney singer-songwriter Caitlin Park and the colourful and vibrant affair hears her expressing her sexuality loudly and proudly.

LIVE REVIEW: Listen Out – Brisbane Showgrounds
It’s not a festival, it’s a party. And that’s exactly what Listen Out delivered on their final date of the touring event in Brisbane.

Faithless are one of electronic music’s biggest names. The English trio pioneered the sound that took over the clubs in the late 90’s and continued to reinvent themselves in the early 2000’s.

2018 has been a really quiet year for London singer-songwriter Sody but after a long break writing the seventeen year old has returned with another heartbreaking ballad. ‘Maybe It Was Me’ is a self reflective track that looks at a break up and the thought process behind realising that maybe you were at fault for…
SINGLE REVIEW: Cyrus – Blah
I’m just going to say it. Cyrus is probably the most underrated winner of X Factor Australia.

His newest…
SINGLE REVIEW: DJ Snake feat. Selena Gomez, Ozuna, Cardi B – Taki Taki
Over hype is a massive killer and DJ Snake’s new track is the newest victim to that trend. ‘Taki Taki’ is an awful latin influenced track that hears the French producer teaming up with Cardi B, Selena Gomez and Ozuna. Taking a leaf out of ‘Despacito’s book, they try to create an international hit with…
