Chvrches follow up to 2013’s debut “The Bones Of What You Believe” is a strong collection of 80’s influenced synth-pop tracks that explode from anthemic hooks and structured beat breakdowns which will have you m-o-v-i-n-g. The songs on “Every Open Eye” are polished and have a clear post pop EDM direction which is less moody…

Jess Glynne had all the potential. Her voice is intriguing and powerful, her songwriting is empowering but somehow her debut album got lost in the delivery. “I Cry When I Laugh” loses the vulnerable power her vocals naturally create and sees her focusing on an exhausted pop/dance sound that is boring to say the least….

“What’s wrong with being confident?” asks Demi Lovato on her fiery new single that shows a sassy and empowering side of the songstress that many have not seen before.

Lead single “On…

Ellie Goulding has surprisingly become pop’s new poster girl and that ain’t a bad thing at all. With her third studio album “Delirium” due to be released on November 6, she’s unleashed a fierce new pop focused sound that will resume her reign at the top of the charts. “On My Mind” is an experimental…

Their billing themselves as “your favourite new band” and look, they quite possibly could be. Fronted by Joe Jonas, DNCE are made up of drummer Jack Lawless, guitarist JinJoo Lee and bassist Cole Whittle who is from one of my favourite and most underrated bands Semi Precious Weapons. Their lead single “Cake By The Ocean”…

Leona Lewis has had a career full of highs and lows and over the past couple of years her impact on the industry has been quite weak. After leaving Syco Music she has resigned with Island Records to release her fifth studio album. “I Am” has her returning to where it all began, her voice…

Ellen DeGeneres is onto her thirteenth series this year and decided maybe it was about time to upgrade her currently tired theme song.
