Beyoncé doesn’t want you to forget the she slays. Yeah, she slays, all day, she slays. This week she dropped a new single and music video, announced a world tour, performed at the SuperBowl, caused some controversy and has got the whole world talking about when her forthcoming sixth studio album will drop. And she’s…
LIVE REVIEW: Short Stack – The Tivoli
Saturday night was a busy night for Brisbane’s entertainment scene with Laneway Festival and Kevin Hart both having sell out events so I guess it was no surprise that Short Stack failed to sell out The Tivoli for that particular weekend. This was my third time seeing them play at The Tivoli and previously it’s…
ALBUM REVIEW: Sia – This Is Acting
The concept of “This Is Acting” was a brave career move for Sia. Releasing songs that she wrote for other artists that they turned down and wanted to prove them wrong because she believes they are hits takes massive guts. The album features tracks that were written for Adele, Rihanna, Beyonce and Shakira and when…
ALBUM REVIEW: Rihanna – ANTI
It’s been a year since the rebirth of Rihanna began. She took full creative control and while people may argue that she hasn’t been as successful with her attempts I don’t think you should underestimate her power. “ANTI” is game changing, genre bending and is brave with the risks she has taken. There is no…
SINGLE REVIEW: Zayn – Pillowtalk
Zayn Malik’s solo debut was always going to be hit or miss and luckily for him it has been a good risk to take. “Pillowtalk” is a strong pop track that has him dabbling with RNB influences that compliment his wide range vocals and captivating falsetto. It’s best described as a downtempo electronic jam that…
LIVE REVIEW: Adam Lambert – Enmore Theatre
Looking around at the sold out crowd filing up the Enmore Theatre I couldn’t help but be impressed with the wide age range and walks of life that were entering the venue. That shouldn’t be a surprise though because Adam Lambert has it all; the voice, the stage presence, the moves and the looks. He…
LIVE REVIEW: Tonight Alive – The Metro
Australian pop/rock band Tonight Alive have received a lot of comparisons over the years to Paramore but they’ve finally shaken them off and are now just being referenced as Tonight Alive. Bursting onto the stage with “To Be Free” they welcomed the hometown crowd to an intimate evening celebrating the bands previous releases and previewed…
LIVE REVIEW: R5, Jack & Jack – Eatons Hill
This concert event was an interesting one. I know, what an opening line but I don’t know how else to honestly start this review because they were my exact thoughts when I left the gig. Billed as a school holiday event the crowd was majority under 16 year olds and I automatically felt old and…
LIVE REVIEW: The 1975 – The Tivoli
Alternative rock favourites The 1975 have given their sound and image a bit of an update with their forthcoming second studio album “I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It” due for release later in the month. They kicked off their pre-album release Australian tour in Brisbane…
ALBUM REVIEW: Panic! At The Disco – Death Of A Bachelor
Panic! At The Disco have experimented with it all, reinventing themselves multiple times and giving us dozens of infectious and brilliant pop/rock tracks. On their fifth studio album “Death Of A Bachelor” they revisit the theatrical sound that made their debut album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” a massive success. Lead singer Brendon Urie…
