Alex Warren’s “Fever Dream” Is the Catchiest Song of the Year, and the Internet Can’t Escape It - By The Fans Magazine Song Review
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.

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

Don’t call Everyone’s a Star! a “boyband” comeback — because, truthfully, 5SOS never left. Album Review by, By The Fans Magazine
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 mor
