ALBUM REVIEW: Plain White T’s – Parallel Universe
‘Hey There Delilah’ is a song that is never going away.

Over the past couple of years the Illinois five piece have been releasing music independently,…
EP REVIEW: Liam Payne – First Time
It’s no secret that the reaction to Liam Payne’s solo career has been a little underwhelming. Compared to his ex-bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Zayn who are topping the charts in their own right, Liam has been a little left behind. His awkward debut single ‘Strip That Down’ received decent traction but his releases…

SINGLE REVIEW: Jason Derulo feat. David Guetta, Nicki Minaj + Willy William – Goodbye
I think from the moment before you even push play on this ill fated track that you’re already well aware that it is going to be terrible. ‘Goodbye’ is not only the title of the new Jason Derulo track but it is also conveniently the words you want to say while listening. The RNB hitmaker…
SINGLE REVIEW: Tori Kelly – Never Alone
Tori Kelly may just be one of the most underrated artists of right now. Her debut album ‘Unbreakable Smile’ never really received the attention it deserved and her upcoming new project ‘Hiding Place’ has been announced almost unknowingly.
