SINGLE REVIEW: Haim – Want You Back

I think it’s safe to say that Haim’s comeback has been the longest promotional tease that we have had in a LONG time. Like they’ve gone on a “promo tour” without any singles, they’ve been announced for festivals without a single, they’ve released a live album track and we still didn’t even have a single….

SINGLE REVIEW: Niall Horan – Slow Hands

It was no secret that I wasn’t a fan of Niall Horan’s debut single “This Town”. It was a just boring and lacklustre lead single that “impressed” his already die hard fans but didn’t really do anything for the new fans he was trying to win over. Taking his sweet time between singles he’s finally…

SINGLE REVIEW: Paramore – Told You So

Paramore are pushing boundaries with their forthcoming fifth studio album and are heading towards a heavier synth-pop directed route instead of their signature bratty pop-rock sound. They’ve already caused a divide within their fanbase to whether this sound direction is a great decision or not and I have to admit that even I’m unsure. They’ve…

SINGLE REVIEW: Tove Styrke – Say My Name

Swedish songstress Tove Styrke released one of my favourite indie-pop albums of 2015. The synth-pop diversity and lyrical honesty on “Kiddo” was impressive and was sadly under-appreciated alongside the likes of pop giants Adele and Justin Bieber. However two years on and we finally have new music and she’s prepared to get justice. “Say My…

SINGLE REVIEW: Fall Out Boy – Young And Menace

Fall Out Boy’s last two albums were pretty great, they resurrected the angst and power of their previous material and allowed fans to reminisce on the good ol days. After taking a little break to work on their forthcoming seventh studio album they’ve just dropped their new single and its not what you were expecting…

SINGLE REVIEW: Katy Perry  – Bon Appetit

Katy Perry has had a rough climb back to the top of the charts since returning to the scene. “Chained To The Rhythm” was a brilliant pop track that only went as high as number 4 on the charts and her follow up single may not even do that well. “Bon Appetit” is a playful…

SINGLE REVIEW: Kygo feat. Ellie Goulding – First Time

Any new Ellie Goulding song is always going to excite me so it’s no surprise that this new collaboration with Kygo is no different. “First Time” is a mid tempo tropical house track that impresses with her captivating vocals and reflective and cute lyrics that look at the beginning of young love. “We were high…

SINGLE REVIEW: Hailee Steinfeld – Most Girls

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had new music from Hailee Steinfeld and I’ve been craving more of her gooey and euphoric pop. Luckily for us she has just released a new single from her forthcoming debut album and it’s yet another catchy banger. “Most Girls” is a rhythmic pop track that experiments with…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sigrid – Dynamite (Acoustic)

It was only last week that Norwegian songstress Sigrid gave us the vibey track “Plot Twist” in the lead up to the release of her debut EP. But she’s decided that one isn’t enough and unleashed an acoustic rendition of unreleased song “Dynamite” and my emotions were truly not prepared. Honestly, this is one of…

SINGLE REVIEW: The Vamps – Middle Of The Night

So apparently The Vamps are no longer a band and instead they are an EDM one piece project? Well that is what it feels like anyways. Their last single with Matoma was a MESS and the fact that it even did mediocrely okay makes me worried. Teaming up with Martin Jensen for their new single…
