Words & Review: Amber Williams Photography Credit to Owner. As a girl that has grown up with each of Olivia’s albums, being completely fascinated that she was describing everything I had ever felt, I was incredibly excited when her new album ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’ was announced. Olivia’s album came out on Friday 12th of June 2026 after she announced it back in April. There was a lot of anticipation, but we did not have to wait long at all. With Olivia rel

Words & Review: Grace Wearn Photography Credit to owner. Few albums feel as intimately vulnerable as stepping into a sublimely illustrated story, or unfolding torn pages from a personal journal - but My Mess, My Heart, My Life does exactly that. Unless you’ve been absent from social media for the past few years, you’ll know that Myles’ breakthrough hit, “Stargazing” soared upwards in the charts specifically from strategy and traction within; TikTok. Since this, each release f

The All-American Rejects - Sandbox Album Review Words & Review: Jenna Stoch Photography Credit: Andy Knight Let me start by saying how grateful we are to be able to review albums, especially albums from bands that have truly earned their place as living legends. The All-American Rejects are one of those bands. They have created songs that have followed people through different stages of their lives, and with Sandbox, they return with a body of work that feels nostalgic, fr

Words & Review: Jenna Stoch Photography credit to retrospective owner. Bloodworm’s Alone In Your Garden feels like a haunting mix of The Cure and The Cult, with a slight touch of The Awakening in its darker atmosphere. It has this almost creepy yet upbeat energy that makes the song feel moody, theatrical, and deeply captivating from the start. The depth of the vocals immediately stands out. There is something dramatic and emotional in the delivery that pulls you into the song

Words & Review: Sky Attav Photography credit to retrospective owner. Charlie Puth’s Whatever’s Clever feels like a natural continuation of what he’s been building over the past few years—hyper-detailed pop production, brutally honest lyrics, and that unmistakable ear for melody. But this time, it’s a little looser, a little more experimental, and a lot more self-aware. The standout strength of the album is still Charlie himself—his production is insanely meticulous. Every sna

Words & Review: Amber Williams Photography credit to retrospective owner. After 4 years of a Harry Styles drought, his new highly anticipated album was released March 6th at midnight. With the name ‘Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally’ many fans had made many different theories on what type of music the album would include. My favourite theory was ‘Kiss All The Time’ initiated that it would be a rock album because of the band Kiss, and ‘Disco Occasionally’ would mean the oc

Words & Review: Jenna Stoch Photography credit to retrospective owner. Alex Warren’s “Fever Dream” Is the Catchiest Song of the Year, and the Internet Can’t Escape It. Not only has Alex Warren dropped what might be the most ridiculously catchy song of the year with Fever Dream, he’s also pulled off a genuinely smart rollout. Before the track even officially landed, he was already teasing snippets across social media, letting people absorb the hook without even realising it. B

Words & Review: Tessa Van Eijkelenburg And I’d Do It Again! English band “Only The Poets” - originally from Reading, are FINALLY releasing their debut album! It will be released on January 30th and we had the pleasure of listening to it exclusively, and we’re here to tell you all about it. For the fans under us, we know that there are a couple of songs we already know - through single releases and teaser tracks. Tommy, Clem, Marcus and Andy have since been releasing some sing

Words & Review: Jenna Stoch Before I begin, I want to take a moment to express how genuinely grateful I am to have been able to listen to MIKA’s new album before its release. MIKA holds such a special place in my heart - his music soundtracked some of my favourite childhood memories, driving around with my mum screaming the lyrics to Blue Eyes (which was especially fitting, considering my mum has the most beautiful blue eyes!). Being able to review this album now feels like a

Words & Album Review: Grace Wearn Photography Credit: Brian Ziff It’s no secret that I’ve been a fan of 5SOS for over thirteen years—since the days when scoring concert tickets felt like a battle of luck with the so-called “Ticket Gods.” Back then, ticketing sites more often than not, crashed under the frenzy of demand, and landing ticket/s for a show felt like somewhat winning the lottery, as a teen. Over the years, I’ve been lucky and fortunate enough to see them live more

Tom Grennan is back with his highly anticipated fourth studio album, Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn’t Want to Be. Words & Review: Grace Taylor Photography Credit: Grace Taylor Following the hugely successful release of What Ifs & Maybes in 2023 and with two number one albums already under his belt, Grennan has delivered his most profound work to date. The opener, Full Attention, is exactly as it sounds. Grennan’s powerful rasp pulls you into cathartic pop, the prev

Words & Review: Jenna Stoch A genre-defying reimagining of a rock classic, with heart, grit, and a surprising twist of country gold. When it was first released in 1985, “Home Sweet Home” was Mötley Crüe’s rawest ballad, a power anthem of life on the road, loneliness, and the aching desire to return to something familiar. Now, four decades later, the Crüe joins forces with Dolly Parton, and somehow… it works better than you’d expect, even beautifully. The vocal blend here is a

Words & Review: Eline Josephine Photography Credit to Owner. Kayko is a talented singer, songwriter, and producer from Nashville who recently released his new single “Can You Show Me.” Most people will recognize him from his time on American Idol.

Album Review: Sleep Token – Even in Arcadia Words & Review: Jenna Stoch Photography Credit to Owner. Sleep Token's Even in Arcadia is an emotional, genre-blending journey that pulls you through intimacy, chaos, beauty, and catharsis. It’s experimental, genre-mixing, and raw in the best way possible. Here's a breakdown of all the tracks: 1. Look To Windward The album opens with a slow, subtle build, a whisper before the storm. It's theatrical and cinematic, dipping between sil

Her music has a wide range genre, but music mostly pop with influences of blues, rock, funk and soul.

Calum Hood - Order Chaos Order - Album Review Words & Review: Grace Wearn Photography Credit: Sarah Eiseman Calum Hood’s debut solo album Order Chaos Order is not just a collection of songs - it’s a far cry from arena-filling pop anthems, this record is introspective, emotionally raw, and sonically rich. Across ten tracks, Hood leans into vulnerability, reflecting on grief, identity, love, and loneliness, all while crafting a cohesive sonic world that feels oddly familiar.. K

Album Review: Skeletá by Ghost Words & Review: Jenna Stoch Photography Credit: Mikael Eriksson/ M Industries Ghost’s Skeletá is not just an album, it's a full-blown theatrical experience. From spine-tingling guitar solos to hypnotic rhythms and soul-stirring ballads, it plays out like the soundtrack to a rock opera you didn’t know you needed. Each track pulls you in, shakes you up, and leaves you wanting more. Here's my track-by-track breakdown: Peacefield Eeerie, yet beaut
