Years & Years sophomore studio album “Palo Santo” was originally one of my most anticipated records of the year until they released their disappointing lead single “Sanctify”. And I’m not the only one that thinks that with the general consensus highlighting their lack of radio airplay and chart domination unlike their previous singles which were…
SINGLE REVIEW: The Presets – Downtown Shutdown
Australian electronic duo The Presets are about to release their highly anticipated fourth studio album “Hi Viz” which promises to push the boundaries further like never before. So far they have successfully done that with their bouncy singles “Do What U Want” and “14U+14ME” which heard them returning to their club ready sound that their…
SINGLE REVIEW: Noah Cyrus feat. MAX – Team
Noah Cyrus has seemingly continued to release strong pop song after strong pop song effortlessly and hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down. But her new single “Team” is her weakest release yet as it awkwardly sits between being an emotive ballad and being too cheesy and generic. The potential is there for this to be…
ALBUM REVIEW: Middle Kids – Lost Friends
Middle Kids bursted onto the Australian music scene last year with their self titled EP that perfectly introduced their alternative indie rock to the world. It didn’t take long for their track “Edge Of Town to go a little bit viral which is no surprise with it’s slight angsty and catchy hook. The Sydney trio…
ALBUM REVIEW: Leon Bridges – Good Thing
Leon Bridges was first introduced to the world in 2015 with his viral breakthrough single “Coming Home” along with his debut album of the same name. However there was a lot of criticism around whether he could back up this soul record with someone a little more fresh and showcase more of his personality. He…
ALBUM REVIEW: Keith Urban – Graffiti U
Keith Urban has hit that global country-pop arena status. No longer is he just Australia’s best kept secret because now he is selling out arenas across America and delivering massive and energetic shows every two years. His tenth studio album “Graffiti U” hears him trying to hold onto that arena status with his most county-pop…
ALBUM REVIEW: Tove Styrke – Sway
Tove Styrke’s introduction into the mainstream pop world has been very long overdue. “Borderline” was one of the most under appreciated songs of 2015 and deserved to have topped the charts and make everyone feel all the emotions. But I’m grateful that in 2018 the world is finally getting to hear her music and are…
SINGLE REVIEW: Julia Michaels – Jump
Julia Michaels quickly cemented herself as one of the best newcomers of 2017 with her breakthrough hit single “Issues” and her massive Clean Bandit collaboration “I Miss You”. Her debut EP was an honest and impressive collection of pop tracks that showcased why she is one of the most sought after songwriters of right now….
SINGLE REVIEW: Shawn Mendes feat. Khalid – Youth
Shawn Mendes absolutely impressed with his kings Of Leon inspired lead single “In My Blood”. The epic and empowering pop-rock track explored the dark thoughts that anxiety triggers and learning to not let them win. It’s a very relatable and honest track that captivated you from a first listen and quickly made his forthcoming third…
SINGLE REVIEW: Client Liaison – Survival In The City
Client Liaison have quickly become one of Australia’s favourite live acts and once you witness their live show it’s not hard to realise why. Their energy is contagious, captivating and uplifting. Their songs are a little ridiculous but that’s why they work so well. Their new single “Survival In The City” is the first taste…
