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…

SINGLE REVIEW: Jess Glynne – 123
Jess Glynne seems to continue to play it safe. We know the girl can sing. We know the girl has a groovy soul sound.

SINGLE REVIEW: Dinah Jane feat. TY Dolla $ign – Bottled Up
I think we’ve officially been delivered the worst song of the year. Whenever a successful group breaks up to peruse solo careers there is always going to be one hopeful who absolutely bombs.

SINGLE REVIEW: Sasha Sloan – Faking It
It’s official, I have fallen in love with Sasha Sloan. Your favourite Californian sad girl has delivered some of the years most emotionally driven and heart breaking indie-pop songs that strangely have a real calming essence to them. ‘Fall’ cracked your heart into two, while ‘Normal’ and Hurt’ had you vibing to the funky production…
