This UK songstress quickly had me in high anticipation for her debut album with the infectious “Sax” cemented in my brain after a first listen. Fleur East knows how to deliver catchy pop tracks that ooze big choruses and playful lyrics and her debut album perfectly showcases that. “Love, Sax & Flashbacks” will have you…
ALBUM REVIEW: Troye Sivan – Blue Neighbourhood
At times Troye Sivan’s debut album bores with repetitive production and anti-climactic hooks but what he excels in is the groundbreaking lyrical content. Sivan has a unique platform to tell his story and is constantly looked to as a gay role model. “Blue Neighbourhood” allows him to open up and sees him becoming one of…
SINGLE REVIEW: Cyrus – Stone
Newly crowned the winner of X Factor Australia 2015, Cyrus was an early front runner with his consistent and strong performances. Topping the ITunes charts multiple times throughout the season with his impressive covers he also peaked at number 6 on the Aria Charts with a highly praised version of “Wicked Game”. His debut self-titled…
ALBUM REVIEW: The Vamps – Wake Up
The Vamps were one of my “bands to watch” acts for a long time with a string of catchy pop tracks backed by strong vocals and quotable lyrics making them an undeniable success. But the pressure of staying relevant and successful while One Direction disappear has them crumbling. “Wake Up” is a messy…
ALBUM REVIEW: Adele 25
When any album is preceded with massive hype I get worried with if it’s going to live up to the expectations. But Adele has stepped it up and delivered an album that will impress and keep you stanning. “25” is not the break up record that “21” was but it is a reflective journey that…
LIVE REVIEW: Jason Derulo – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Jason Derulo kicked off his “Everything Is 4 World Tour” in Australia over the weekend and with a strong line up of supports he nearly got overshadowed. Snapchat queen Pia Mia kicked off the show with an energetic set that showcased her incredible dance moves, powerful vocals and catchy RNB flavoured tracks. Joined by…
ALBUM REVIEW: Samantha Jade – Nine
I could start this review off with a joke about how the title “Nine” references how long we have been waiting for the album but in all seriousness Samantha Jade’s debut record perfectly balances pure heartbreak with upbeat feel good pop tracks. Album opener “Always” instantly hits you with infectious pop beats, a cool guitar…
LIVE REVIEW: Florence + The Machine – Riverstage
If there’s one thing I’m sure of it’s that Florence + The Machine knows how to put on one hell of a show. Strolling out onto the stage gracefully waving like the queen she is, she launched into fan favourite “What The Water Gave Me” and perfectly captured what tonight’s show would be; pure…
SINGLE REVIEW: Guy Sebastian – Black And Blue
Ever since his album “Armageddon” Guy Sebastian has struggled to make an impact on the charts but with the release of “Black And Blue” this trend may change. Armed with strong production, powerful lyrics and a club ready breakdown this song has everything it needs to be a smash. “Somebody’s gonna love you, love you…
SINGLE REVIEW: Tkay Maidza – Ghost
If you haven’t heard of Tkay Maidza yet then you’re doing life all wrong. This raptress (yes I really used that word to describe her) has been dominating the Australian Music Festival circuit, playing sold out club shows nationwide and even taken it overseas supporting the likes of Years & Years and Rita Ora. “M.O.B”…
