This song starts off really quietly, as if the production isn’t complete…. Wait for it…. Waaaaaaait for it…. 0:44 made you jump didn’t it??? Yeah! That’s because this is pop rock perfection, guitars, vocals with attitude standing out in the mix. The producer did their job right here! I like the chorus with the great …
Single Review: “Big”- Rainn Byrns
Ahh this song’s lyrics make me laugh…. “Charlie’s made it big on the TV set and I’m still cleaning toilets trying not to regret…” This song is typical of Rain’s sense of humour and backed with summery surfer vibe this calls for some serious airplay. The way that this song is performed, it’s just …

Single Review: “Thirteen Weeks” – With Sun
Thirteen Weeks – With Sun I’ll be honest, I struggled with whether I wanted to review this one, as the subject matter is that raw. And everyone that I know that’s heard this song has had the same reaction. I don’t think I’d have been able to do it justice as a reviewer as my …
Single Review: “Blood” – Soft Velvet Lounge
What I like about this song is the very indie pop vibe on this…. Very dreamy vocals that swirl around you, and with a powerful production as the backdrop it really does hit the spot. The synths being played are interesting choice sound wise, to begin with you hear a very quiet synth pad which …

Album Review: “Pixelation” – Kiffie
Pixelation by Kiffie Pixelation This track is characteristic of Kiffie’s sound, very electronic, sparse synth sounds…. But there’s one little change, this track is not in 4/4. At least not all the way through. Don’t get too confused, it’s a bit of polyrhythmic play that funnily enough I was discussing with a colleague of mine …
