Tinie Tempah was a name you heard a lot. But recently his impact on the industry has become rapidly less and less. His third studio album “Youth” is due to be released next week with minimal promotional effort except for a single released in November 2015 and another one in Feb 2016…. Yep, that seems…
SINGLE REVIEW: Paces feat. Nyne – Savage
After the success of his debut album “Vacation” Gold Coast producer Paces has released his new single which goes towards a more dancefloor ready sound. “Savage” is the song you’ve been waiting for all summer. It’s a departure from the more clean dance/pop direction we have previously heard from him and I can promise you…
SINGLE REVIEW: Julia Michaels – Issues
You probably don’t know the name Julia Michaels but you’ve actually been singing her lyrics for the past couple of years. Along side fellow collaborator Justin Tranter the duo have written some of your favourite songs from the likes of Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato and Britney Spears. But she’s stepping out…
ALBUM REVIEW: The XX – I See You
The XX are known to provide the chilled out vibes with minimal production, emotional lyrics and smooth harmonies. On their third studio album they reach towards arena status with a sound some may call “selling out” but others would call adapting and growing. In no ways is this album an attempt to be “mainstream” it’s…
SINGLE REVIEW: Vérité – Phase Me Out
In 2016 Vérité intrigued and captivated me with her brutally honest and experimental EP “Living” as well as her bold cover of The 1975’s “Somebody Else”. She quickly established herself as an artist you have to watch and I’m very glad we didn’t have to wait too long to get more new music. “Phase Me Out”…
SINGLE REVIEW: The Chainsmokers – Paris
It probably comes by no surprise that I think The Chainsmokers are very overrated. They were very lucky that “Closer” took off the way it did and ever since then they have tried to re-create that magic. It’s becoming kind of predictable. But lucky for them their new single “Paris” is just as catchy and…
SINGLE REVIEW: Halsey – Not Afraid Anymore
As the release of Fifty Shades Darker creeps closer the details of the soundtrack have been finally unveiled and it’s ticking all the boxes of our guilty pleasures. With new tracks by Tove Lo, John Legend, Sia, Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj there is legitimately something for everyone promised. However leading the pack is the…
SINGLE REVIEW: Snakehips feat. MO – Don’t Leave
So we may only be in the first week of 2017 but I think Snakehips and MO have just released a track that will be featured in my Top 10 songs of the year. I know it’s a big call but this is a BIG song. “Don’t Leave” is a perfect collision of heartbreak, flawless…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ed Sheeran – Castle On The Hill
Ed Sheeran has always had minimalistic production using loop pedals to create a bigger sound. But on his second promotional single from his forthcoming third studio album we hear him taking a bit of a risk. Think of “Castle On The Hill” as a result if Mumford And Sons and Ed Sheeran had a musical…
SINGLE REVIEW: Ed Sheeran – Shape Of You
After taking a year hiatus while he travelled the world and wrote new material Ed Sheeran hasn’t wasted any further time by giving his fans new music in 2017. Instead of releasing just one lead single he has released two to say thank you to the fans for being patient while he had some rest…
