SINGLE REVIEW: Salty – Why Don’t We

Rising Sydney based pop artist Salty is making sure she’s on your “must watch lists” for 2023. Following the release of recent singles “measured in heartbeats”, “Exaggerator” and “Lucy” over the past two years, she’s entering 2023 with a bold confidence that can be heard so purely in her first single of the year. “Why…

SINGLE REVIEW: Chela – Hard 4 You

Chela is giving us another hard-hitting queer pop song and it’s one you’re going to find yourself obsessing over and continually pressing replay on. “Hard 4 You” is an infectiously driven pop song that comes off the back of the synth led and timely “Cool 2B Queer” which was widely praised. But there’s just something…

SINGLE REVIEW: Charlotte Lawrence – Boys Like You

I love hearing queer pop songs becoming front and centre in the spotlight, and Charlotte Lawrence’s new track “Boys Like You” is an important one to note right now. It’s an honest exploration of her queer experience, and it’s one that a lot of queer people can relate to.  “I can’t help it, I like…

INTERVIEW: Katy Steele

“I’m certainly not one to shy away from the spotlight” Katy Steele laughingly admits early on in our chat about her sophomore solo album “Big Star” (out now). The West Australian based artist who captured our hearts in the early 2000’s as the frontwoman of Little Birdy, has found herself in a really confident space…

SINGLE REVIEW: Dom Dolla feat. Nelly Furtado – Eat Your Man

2023 is the year of the Nelly Furtado comeback, and I couldn’t be more excited. It all started over New Years when the Canadian icon headlined Beyond The Valley in Victoria, and since then she’s been laying low and preparing new music for what will be an undeniable return. The first taste of what’s to…

SINGLE REVIEW: Cian Ducrot – Heaven

Last month Cian Ducrot wowed at his debut Australian headline shows with a set that already felt like a masterclass of musicianship. Cementing himself as a true performer, he commanded everyone’s attention through fan favourites, the hits, and some unreleased gems. One of the unreleased standouts was “Heaven”, an anthemic track about brotherhood which already…

SINGLE REVIEW: Cate – Girlfriend

“He says he wants a girlfriend, but he doesn’t wanna be a boyfriend” – let’s be real, we all know someone like this. Whether it be someone we’ve dated (shoutout to one of my exes xo), or a friend, acquaintance, or someone you rather just forget. And now Canadian raised and UK based singer-songwriter Cate…
