As a somewhat recent converted Swiftie (in the last few years that is), I was developing a real appreciation for TS which culminated in Midnights; an album I hold very dear. Sadly, TTPD was a step back with too much reliance on over-indulgent lyrics and The Life of a Show Girl follows the declining trend but in very surprising fashion. The production is very formulaic and offers little in terms of excitement barring Fate of Ophelia and Actually Romantic but even that is clutching at straws.

This was such a pleasant surprise from Wet Leg. I liked their first album but it wasn't without its faults. Moisturizer shows the indie rockers soar to new heights, some of which not many would have predicted.
This is my first introduction to Fia Moon and what a delight this EP is. Looking at Fia's back catalogue, this isn't a fresh start Pop EP, this is a result of nearly seven years in the making and for Dear Loved, to be my first introduction to the world of Fia, this is a great place to start.
Each track earns its place on this EP, with the only disappointment coming in the fact it's only 4 tracks. All 4 have been added to my current rotation and I will await a full record with ... read more
I like it. Although from a creative POV, I hope this is the final instalment of the Short N Sweet sound and Sabrina looks to develop into a fresh approach for her next album.
Turnstile haven't left the neighbourhood of GLOW ON. They've put a few photos up in the house and cut back the grass in the garden. It's little developments but mostly the exquisite home remains the same. Then again, when you've moved out of your hardcore 1 bed flat and amass a 5 bedroom house you'd be forgiven to be content in staying mostly as you are.
The best thing to come from TikTok since those people that hide speakers in public libraries.
What a journey this album is. GG's Gigi.
A vastly improved effort in comparison to Take Me Back to Eden but it still just falls short of their first two records.
How has it been TEN YEARS?!
While I am stoked to see Superheaven back and kicking, it's hard not to feel like this is a revision as opposed to an evolution. While still a good record, it doesn't hold a candle to OIC and JAR.
Death, takes and The Wombats releasing good albums is just a few of the guarantees in this life. Oh! The Ocean is slightly more sombre than their previous record but still maintains that trademark Wombats Indie sparkle in places amongst the more emotional driven theming.
Bonus points for the (sometimes scarily so) relatable lyrics for someone in their late 20s/early 30s.
I cannot stop playing this record. While the songs are not revolutionary, they present a body of work that is drenched in pop-sensible hooks coupled with fun instrumentals. Emily Armstrong takes us through a masterclass of vocal performance here, showcasing the full breadth of her vocal capabilities.
