Rex Orange County, aka Alex O’Connor, has well and truly laid down the law of how to make sweet easy to listen to tunes. Already two albums down and having featured on Tyler the Creator’s […]
Single Review: Here We Are Again by Ella Grace
After the success of her two previous singles, Ella has returned with ‘Here We Are Again’, a bittersweet and more solemn ode to the ache of lost love. Beginning and ending with the sound of […]
Single Review: Too Much To Ask by Niall Horan
Niall Horan’s solo career thus far has been unpredictable, to say the least. His first single – the nostalgic and entirely lovely ‘This Town’ – was acoustic and simple, and set him up to move […]
Single Review: Back to You by Louis Tomlinson ft. Bebe Rexha
It is my professional opinion that Louis Tomlinson stole the lyrics for his latest single, ‘Back To You’, from the Twitter accounts of his many dedicated fans. This is not a song written by a […]
Single Review: Praying by Kesha
When you think of Kesha, you think of glittery parties, glittery alcohol and glittery vomit. That’s not a slight to her — it was the image she put out when she released her first single, […]

Wolf Alice have always been a band of many colours, and the band’s latest single comes out on the softer end of the spectrum. If the band’s first single ‘Yuk Foo’ off of their forthcoming […]

Single Review: Strip That Down by Liam Payne
It’s been a busy week for One Direction fans- and this is whilst the band are on hiatus. Liam Payne is the last member of 1D to release solo material, and the one whose new […]
Single Review: Love Anyone Else by SUGARHOUSE
The squeak of the hinge as the case opens. The ka-thunk as the cassette locks into place. The whiny scratch as you rewind. These are the sounds of the cassette revival. Sad Club Records, an […]
Single Review: Lust for Life by Lana Del Rey and The Weekend
Starboy and Stargirl have released another amazing track. Lana Del Rey has featured in two of The Weeknd’s songs, ‘Prisoner’ and ‘Stargirl’, and now he has returned the favour in Lana’s new song ‘Lust for […]
Single Review: ‘In Cold Blood’ by alt-J
alt-J have stated that this latest single was something they “began writing in our Leeds days” – who’s to say that Joe Newman’s crooning about how “your G&T is empty” wasn’t inspired by a late […]
