ALBUM REVIEW: Ariana Grande – Sweetener 

It may just be one of the most anticipated pop records of the year but does Ariana Grande’s fourth studio album ‘Sweetener’ live up to all the hype?

SINGLE REVIEW: LPX – Might Not Make It Home

LPX is the exciting and dynamic solo project from MSMR vocalist Lizzy Palpinger. Her debut EP ‘Bolt In The Blue’ was an angsty collection of raw emotions and saw her delivering a whole lot of empowerment. For her follow up single ‘Might Not Make It Home’ she takes it back to where it all began…

SINGLE REVIEW: The 1975 – TooTimeTooTimeTooTime

The crazy hype surrounding The 1975 seems to have died down a little.

It delivers…

ALBUM REVIEW: Yungblud – 21st Century Liability

Yungblud is one of the music industry’s most diverse and eclectic newcomers.

After the dramatic and cinematic album opener ‘Eulogy’ he launches straight into the nostalgic punk-pop ‘Die For The…

SINGLE REVIEW: Broods – Peach
