HAPPY EASTER! It really is a glorious Sunday. Lady Gaga has just headlined Coachella and dropped a bombshell by announcing and performing a brand new single!

SINGLE REVIEW: Will.I.Am – FIYAH

There are many problems with this Will.I.Am single. First of all; where did it come from? If there was any warning/promotion about it then I didn’t hear boo.

ALBUM REVIEW: K.FLAY – Every Where Is Some Where

K.FLAY is one of the most underrated artists of right now. She can’t be defined by one genre, her music is fluid and she’s experimented with almost every sound and completely owns it.

SINGLE REVIEW: Beatz – Ain’t Your Girl

Last years season of The X Factor Australia was a massive mess for multiple reasons and it comes by no surprise that Channel 7 have now axed the reality TV juggernaut. But one of the the massive shocks last year on the show was how Beatz were robbed from being in the final 3. Their…
