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…
SINGLE REVIEW: Laura Roy – Temporary
I was first introduced to the positive pop vibes of Laura Roy in 2016 with her impressive debut EP which showed a lot of raw potential. Fast forward two years and the Canadian songstress has returned with a mature new single which hears her heading towards a slightly different direction. “Temporary” is less Carly Rae…
SINGLE REVIEW: The Black Eyed Peas – Ring The Alarm Pt.1, Pt.2, Pt.3
The Black Eyed Peas will always be one of THOSE groups. The ones whose greatest hits will forever be played at parties and clubs, whose hooks are constantly cemented in your head and whose discography can invoke so many memories.

SINGLE REVIEW: Betty Who – Taste
I am so happy Betty Who has left her major label and gone independent because I feel like we are finally seeing the real her again. Ever since she has taken full control I feel like we have returned to her early EP days where she is just releasing music that she loves and hearing…
SINGLE REVIEW: Pharrell Williams feat. Camila Cabello – Sangria Wine
Pharrell Williams is noted to be one of the music industry’s most sought after collaborators. After all he’s worked on some of the biggest pop and R&B songs of the past 18 years. But recently his sound has become a little predictable, annoying and uninspired. The newest song to add to this disappointing list is…
LIVE REVIEW: Marlon Williams – The Triffid
There is something really soothing about a heartbreak song whether your’re listening just to shed a tear, to live in a cluster of feelings or even to be comfortable with the feeling of emptiness. And Marlon Williams’ sophomore record ‘Make Way For Love’ perfected the ultimate mix of tragic hopelessness and the romantic strive for…
The Important Message Behind Rita Ora’s New Single
With the current state of the world we should be striving to uplift and empower each other and celebrate each others individual self love experience. But in the wake of Rita Ora’s newest single “Girls” we have seen a hurtful and damaging attack on an artists creative integrity. The infectious pop track that also…
ALBUM REVIEW: Arctic Monkeys – Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino
Arctic Monkeys are one of those bands who can really do whatever they want and on their sixth studio album they really show they can do that by pushing the boundaries a little too far. Ditch whatever you are already familiar with about or expect from Arctic Monkey’s because “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino” is…
