Welcome to the Long Weeknd. For an album called Hurry Up Tomorrow, Abel Tesfaye sure doesn’t mind stretching things out. (Inuendo intended). The album clocks in at just under one and half hours which is easily his longest album to date. But just like The Weeknd being offered illicit substances in ...

"With this sixth powerhouse of an album, Kendrick Lamar has once again proven that his fiery, intense art continues to work wonders and elevate his star even higher. If this is what he puts together and then drops as a surprise – we will be eagerly watching to receive his next masterpiece."

Kendrick Lamar’s had an interesting, hectic year. From his public feud with Drake (including the viral ‘Not Like Us’) to announcing he’s playing the Super Bowl, there’s no doubt that he’s been booked and busy. However, he’s just levelled that one up with the drop of surprise album GNX....

To celebrate his NZ tour, we picked our fave 10 Hozier tracks from over the years.

It's a hard job, but someone had to do it ...

It’s always a good time to be a Hozier fan.   In 2013 we all took notice. The world was introduced to ‘Take Me To Church’, a beautiful song with depth and poignancy that made us all sit up. In the next decade and change we’ve had three albums, a handful of EPs, and two [...]Read More...

Classically symbolising the ending of a narrative, Dean Lewis calls his newest album 'The Epilogue' both "the ending of the last few years" of his life and the "beginning of the next." After listening to the entirety of the album, it’s clear that this may in fact symbolise the beginning of a new era for the Aussie star.

Read our review below!

After the commercially successful release of his 2022 album The Hardest Love, Australian star Dean Lewis is back with a fresh new album titled The Epilogue to the delight of his audience. Compiled of 12 tracks, Lewis once again brings his trademark emotion and clever songwriting to the fore. Kicking...

“With F-1 Trillion, it’s clear that this shift into country has resulted in the messy vulnerability of Post Malone’s past music being traded in for more straightforward sentiments. It’s a decision that has paid off—this sixth album may surprisingly be his best yet.”

Post Malone has branched out with his most recent work, that’s for sure. His new album F-1 Trillion, which is heavily country and full of collaborations with iconic genre artists, hit streaming platforms on August 16. Features include Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, and Chris Stapleton, among others, wh...
