James Arthur’s debut single “Impossible” after winning The X Factor UK in 2013 was impressive but that’s as far as my compliments extend. He does have powerful vocals that have the potential to captivate you and take you on a musical journey but for some reason what he constantly churns out is mediocre pop moments….
ALBUM REVIEW: Chynna Taylor – Dreamers
Chynna Taylor became a name you wanted to know after she was completely robbed on X Factor Australia in 2016 and eliminated way too early from the competition. The American native who now lives on the central coast of NSW with her husband has just independently released her appropriately titled debut album, “Dreamers”. This collection…
SINGLE REVIEW: Aeora – Need You
Aeora is a Melbourne songstress who has been delivering dark and reflective tracks since 2015. Her hauntingly beautiful vocals have this raw vulnerability about them that command your attention and leave you blissfully happy. Her latest single “Need You” hears her experimenting with heavier electronic layers and dark pop harmonies. The production reminds me a…
LIVE REVIEW: Lorde – Sydney Opera House
Lorde is undisputedly one of the biggest artists in the world at the moment. Ever since she released her breakthrough smash hit “Royals” in 2012 she’s become a household name and has taken reign on the charts. Her sophomore record “Melodrama” is so far the best album of 2017 along with “Green Light” respectively taking…
ALBUM REVIEW: Tove Lo – Blue Lips
Tove Lo’s third studio album has kind of just gone under the radar completely. Over the past three and a half years the Swedish songstress has become one of my favourite artists because of her unique storytelling, her oozing confidence and her raw emotional vulnerability. She has evolved a lot as an artist since her…
EP REVIEW: Aly & AJ – Ten Years
Aly & AJ’s comeback EP title is kind of self explanatory. It’s been 10 years since they have released music and it’s truly been too long. The dynamic sister duo were responsible for the iconic Disney endorsed anthems “Potential Break-Up Song” and “Like Whoa” but after their 2007 record “Insomniatic” they disappeared from our lives…
LIVE REVIEW: Ecca Vandal – The Brightside
Ecca Vandal has always defied genres by delivering hip-hop beats with rock roots and polished pop hooks. For her debut self titled album she has also experimented with a heavier electronic production. To celebrate the release of the record she’s embarked on her biggest headlining national tour yet which see’s her showcasing these eclectic new…
LIVE REVIEW: Confidence Man – The Triffid
Confidence Man are one of the most talked about new acts in the Australian music industry and for good reason. Their high energy is contagious, their songs are a little ridiculous and their live show is absolutely captivating. The band are currently celebrating the release of their single “Better Sit Down Boy” with a massive…
SINGLE REVIEW: Diplo feat. MO – Get It Right
Diplo and MO have reunited for another song but please don’t expect another “Lean On”. Instead what this dynamic duo do deliver is a generic pop-dance crossover with an enjoyable beat drop that will hear clubs and radio stations picking it up instantly. The dancehall inspired track gives me Rudimental vibes and is great step…
SINGLE REVIEW: Tigerilla feat. Muki – Money In My Jeans
BOP! BOP! BOPPITY BOP! Melbourne electronic producer Tigerilla has teamed up with one of Australian’s most exciting pop newcomers Muki for a ridiculously catchy tune. “Money In My Jeans” is just one of those perfect summer jams that does nothing but makes you want to drink and dance. And with Summer quickly approaching what a…
