Jess Kent is a name you don’t want to forget and she is making sure that doesn’t happen with her fiery debut EP appropriately titled “My Name Is Jess Kent”. This five track collection is a great introduction to the pop, electronic, hip hop fusion she has created. Imagine if Lily Allen and Beastie Boys…
ALBUM REVIEW: Bruno Mars – 24K Magic
Bruno Mars is a prime example of someone who has had a massive hit and has attempted to re-create it one too many times. “24K Magic” takes elements from his previous two records and implements the big band sound that “Uptown Funk” stamped. The title track is a cross over of “The Fresh Prince Of…
ALBUM REVIEW: Little Mix – Glory Days
Little Mix are undeniably the biggest girl-group of right now and they are continuing their global domination with the release of their fourth studio album “Glory Days”. Their last album “Weird People” failed to deliver cohesiveness and experimented with too many sounds that it felt rushed and unbalanced. However on their new record they…
Why X Factor Australia 2016 Was A TOTAL Mess
There are rumours currently floating around that X Factor Australia will not be returning in 2017, but does that really come as much of a surprise? The 2016 series of the “hit” reality TV show was plagued from the very start with a messy new format, cringe worthy host and lacklustre judges. The show desperately…
SINGLE REVIEW: Asta – Shine
Sydney songstress Asta has had a busy year with festival appearances and a coveted spot opening for Ellie Goulding on her Australian Tour but what we’ve been missing is new music. After a long wait she doesn’t disappoint with her infectious new single “Shine”. The groovy pop track produced by YEO is a step up…
EP REVIEW: Bridgit Mendler – Nemesis
It’s a known fact that Bridgit Mendler’s debut album “Hello My Name Is” was very under-appreciated. The Disney alum impressed with a diverse exploration of pop while still being under the reigns of Disney and Hollywood Records. After a break between projects she has cut her ties with her previous labels and experimented towards a…
ALBUM REVIEW: DNCE – DNCE
In September 2015 I proclaimed that DNCE would become your new favourite band and I wasn’t wrong with that prediction. Fronted by Joe Jonas these pop infused glam-rockers have broken the mould for mainstream pop/rock injecting some much needed craziness in your life. “Cake By The Ocean” may just be the most ridiculous song of…
ALBUM REVIEW: Alicia Keys – HERE
Stepping away from the beautiful ballads and radio friendly formulas Alicia Keys has adopted a more controversial and grittier approach. “HERE” is the songstresses sixth studio album and her most personal yet. With the change of direction it has allowed Keys to address equality, relationships and her life in a bit more of a pure…
ALBUM REVIEW: Olly Murs – 24 Hrs
It’s like clockwork. Every two years when Christmas approaches Olly Murs releases an album and sadly each year the momentum gets less and less. His fifth studio album “24 Hrs” has been released almost unknowingly in the over saturated pop market and maybe that’s a blessing for him in disguise because I’m going to put…
MIXTAPE REVIEW: Tinashe – Nightride
We were promised that in 2016 we would receive Tinashe’s sophomore studio album “Joyride” but after multiple delays it’s been annoyingly pushed back to “early 2017”. However to hold us over to then and to remain us from eye rolling too hard she has released a mixtape that I wish I could say was worth…
