SINGLE REVIEW: Rita Ora – Poison

ALBUM REVIEW: Pitch Perfect 2 Soundtrack

In 2012 you were pitch slapped HARD. Three years on the sequel will hit you harder with stronger jokes and storyline but the music lacks the wow impact the original hard.

SINGLE REVIEW: Taylor Swift Feat. Kendrick Lamar – Bad Blood

“1989” was one of the best albums of 2014 and with each single released she constantly topped the charts.

EP REVIEW: Flo Rida – My House

I really feel for Flo Rida. His rapid decline in fame has been embarrassing to say the least. He went from being one of the most sought after collaborators to not having a real hit in 3 years and his most recent credible collaboration being with Nickelback. That’s rough. Attempting to make a comeback he…
