James Bay is a man that can apparently do it all. In 2015 he delivered the intimate and emotional debut album ‘Chaos And The Calm’ which showcased a vulnerable side to his blues-rock sound. For his sophomore record ‘Electric Light’ he turns up the volume and heads towards a pop injected indie-rock sound that will…
EP REVIEW: Conrad Sewell – Ghosts & Heartaches
We were first introduced to the dynamic and captivating vocals of Conrad Sewell in 2014 through the massive KYGO collaboration ‘Firestone’ which instantly put him on the map. The Australian singer-songwriter followed that massive track up with the mesmerising ‘Start Again’ and the groovy ‘Hold Me Up’ and ‘Who You Lovin’ which saw him winning…
SINGLE REVIEW: Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato – Solo
Who doesn’t love a post break up song about self pleasure? I mean it’s one of the most natural and empowering things so why not own it and that’s exactly what Clean Bandit and Demi Lovato do on their brand new single. ‘Solo’ begins with the British three pieces signature violins and dance production before…
SINGLE REVIEW: Shawn Mendes – Where Were You In The Morning
At the moment I’m convinced that Shawn Mendes can do no wrong and that his forthcoming third studio album is going to be one of the best of the year. His new single (and the last one to be released before the album is unleashed) is an emotionally sweet affair. ‘Where Were You In The…
SINGLE REVIEW: Christina Aguilera feat. Demi Lovato – Fall In Line
I don’t really know what is happening within this new era for Christina Aguilera. Like who is approving these singles? Who is running her promotional grid? Why is she plying theatres for her upcoming tour? There are a lot of questions that I need answered. And I feel like I’m not the only one because…
SINGLE REVIEW: Eves Karydas – Couch
We were first introduced to Eves Karydas in 2015 when she dominated the indie-pop scene with the cool project Eves The Behavior. Now she’s taken back her name with a new solo project that is radio ready and a little more pop focused. Her debut single “There For You” heard her channeling a Lana Del…
SINGLE REVIEW: Nicole Millar – No Strings
With her debut album ‘No Excuses’ just around the corner, Nicole Millar is proving that she may just be the Australian indie-popstar you need in your life. Her new single ‘No Strings’ is a continuation of the feel good synth-pop that her previous singles have introduced. Her songwriting has notably been getting stronger with each…
SINGLE REVIEW: Maribelle – I’m A Mess Without You
2018 is a massive year for the LGBTQ+ community because not only are we seeing mainstream media supporting our community but we are also seeing Hollywood movies telling our stories and singer-songwriters topping the charts by opening up about their unique and empowering experiences. Australian songstress Maribelle is the next artist to open up to…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ryan Beatty – Bruise
Ryan Beatty has come a long way since he started uploading covers to YouTube in 2011. The Californian singer-songwriter released two pop EP’s in 2012 and 2013 and then took some time from the spotlight to work on his sound and to come to terms with some things happening in his personal life. In 2016…
SINGLE REVIEW: Backstreet Boys – Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
Backstreet’s back, alright! And yes, it was necessary for me to start the review off with that pun because that is exactly how I feel about this song. In a world where comebacks are cool and boy bands are currently missing it was only appropriate that the ultimate boy band made their comeback. “Don’t Go…
