“Worth It” was my anthem on 2015 and when it plays in clubs I still drop it and pull out my well-choreographed girl band moves. So, I’m not saying I expected a “Worth It 2.0” but when Fifth Harmony announced their lead single from their upcoming sophomore studio album I wanted something a bit… boppy….

Award for the longest album title of 2016 goes to The 1975. Their highly anticipated sophomore studio album “I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It” is finally here and it’s as theatrical, moody and raw as you imagined and wanted it to be. Trying to find…

Icona Pop are one of my favourite dynamic duos and for good reason. Their debut album featured banger after banger of pop goodness that has become the soundtrack to any party scene in your favourite movies and a staple in every nightclub. Last year they released the underappreciated “Emergency” which gave you a brassy EDM…

Azealia Banks is once again looking for a label to release her forthcoming second studio album and in an attempt to speed up the process she has released a hype single. With a title like “The Big Big Beat” you would expect a giant beat drop that would slay your entire existence. Instead we get a…

Bonnie Anderson has it all; the voice, the moves and the look but what she’s lacking at the moment is a killer track. Her first two singles “Raise The Bar” and “Blackout” were right on the mark with infectious hooks and flawless production while her follow up singles “Rodeo” and “Unbroken” failed to make any…

Emerging indie-pop princess Asta delivered one of your favourite songs of 2015 with the infectious “Dyamite”. It featured at 47 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 and she’s ready to get you dancing again, but this time harder. “Wild Emotion” is a disco influenced banger that oozes a mix of strong and relaxed vocal techniques with…

X Factor Australia winner Cyrus has hid away from the spotlight for the past couple of months after winning the 2015 television juggernaut to work on his forthcoming studio album. “Keep Talking” is the first offering from this release and it’s the RNB influenced mid-tempo pop ballad you would expect. It sounds like a perfect…

Gwen Stefani’s solo career has had a wobbly comeback with “Baby Don’t Lie” and “Spark The Fire” flopping spectacularly on the charts. But last year she had some success with the ever so emotional “Used To Love You” which broke your heart every time you heard it or saw her struggle to keep a strong…

Euphoric pop is the current musical trend and I am not complaining about that at all because it’s been a long time since we’ve had some decent, positive pop tracks circulating our airwaves. UK songstress Foxes has just dropped her sophomore studio album “All I Need” and she delivers fifteen feel good, reflecting pop tracks….
