ALBUM REVIEW: Jess & Matt – Songs From The Village

Australia’s favourite wholesome-pop duo are back with a new record that hears them rediscovering their roots. Stripping it completely back ‘Songs From The Village’ sees Jess & Matt reimagining twelve classic folk tracks that defined a generation in the 1960’s. This duo are both very talented singer-songwriters and could have easily released an album full…

ALBUM REVIEW: Christina Aguilera – Liberation

Christina Aguilera is a voice of a generation, so I’m a little confused as to why she has gone down a path of self-destruction with her experimental eighth studio album ‘Liberation’. The confusing record hears her fusing together RNB with synths and soul and sadly it just doesn’t work. You know you’re in trouble when…

ALBUM REVIEW: 5 Seconds Of Summer – Youngblood

Australian four-piece 5 Seconds Of Summer have really proved themselves with the release of their third studio album. ‘Youngblood’ hears them striving towards a bolder and more mature sound that channels 80’s synth rock. This record is full of personality, emotion and groove and it couldn’t be a better re-introduction to this band. Forget what…

EP REVIEW: Betty Who – Betty Pt.1

2018 is going to be known as the rebirth of Betty Who. In January the singer-songwriter left her major record label to go independent so she could release music again as freely and creatively as she wanted. So far she has released three very unique and catchy singles that perfectly capture who she is as…

EP REVIEW: DNCE – People To People

Ever since the release of their debut self-titled album, DNCE have been a little quiet on the release front. The bold foursome have released a couple of singles and collaborations along the way but haven’t really hinted when we would hear another full body of work. Instead they’ve decided to just surprise release a new…

SINGLE REVIEW: Aly & AJ – Good Love

Lets be real for a minute. Aly & AJ were the absolute comeback queens of 2017. The dynamic sister duo bursted back into the music industry with their independently released EP “Ten Years” which heard them introducing a new synth-pop sound full of emotion and empowerment. Lead single ‘Take Me” was an underrated track that…

SINGLE REVIEW: Urban Cone feat. Blenda – Sugar

I was starting to question where my favourite Swedish four piece had disappeared to but it’s okay because they’ve returned with an absolute banger of a song. ‘Sugar’ is Urban Cone’s most diverse single yet and offers a pure funk and slick pop sound. It’s also their most mainstream ready song closely followed by ‘Old…

SINGLE REVIEW: Bebe Rexha – I’m A Mess

Bebe Rexha’s debut album ‘Expectations’ is finally going to be released next week but before she delivers the record in it’s entirety she’s decided to release one final single. ‘I’m A Mess’ is a rhythmic pop anthem that is about celebrating your imperfections and insecurities. The New York singer-songwriter does this in a very playful…

SINGLE REVIEW: Alessia Cara – Growing Pains

Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara quickly became one of the most talked about newcomers when her breakthrough single ‘Here’ launched her career. After releasing her debut album ‘Know It All’ she had more hits with ‘Scars To Your Beautiful’ and ‘Wild Things’, she collaborated with Zedd on the epic ‘Stay’, recorded the lead single for the…

SINGLE REVIEW: Plain White T’s – Your Body & Bonnie I Want You

There are always a couple of key albums that impact you, inspire you or have you feeling a particular way while you’re growing up. One of those albums for me was The Plain White T’s ‘Every Second Counts’. That record was full of honest songwriting, pure emotion and kick ass hooks. It’s also an album…
