  • MUSIC REVIEW: This Christmas

    Set aside the cringey music video for the album’s lead single ‘I Think You Might Like It’ and you’ll find one of the best holiday albums released in a while, filled with classic, classy and expertly produced Christmas favourites including ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ (with Cliff Richard), ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ (with Barbra Streisand) and a beautiful rendition of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ to boot.

  • ALBUM REVIEW | Frankie Said

    As a babe of the 80s my knowledge of Frankie Goes To Hollywood isn’t just limited to that Virgin Atlantic ad. Although admittedly my childhood music taste was mainly limited to one perfectly formed Aussie Pop Temptress.

  • SINGLE REVIEW | Wing, Little Mix

    Genius. I didn’t have much hope for the debut release for the winning X Factor quartet, but if the first single ‘Wings’ is anything to go by Little Mix’s album is going to be fresh, innovative and dare I say, quirky.

  • SINGLE REVIEW | Never Close Our Eyes

    Gaga you’d better watch out, Lambert’s stolen your synths. This glam slam by US singer Adam Lambert expertly showcases why he won a legion of fans in his stint of American Idol in 2009.

    It’s pacey, smash chorus hits all the notes and even has a hook line you can remember. Brilliant. The opening lines “I wish this night would never be over / There’s plenty of time to sleep when we die” will certainly resonate with the intended audience – a hybrid of Emo-Pop-NuRomantic lovers.

    The song was co-written by Bruno Mars and co-produced by music man of the moment Dr. Luke. Although there’s no trace of Mars in the writing style, Never Close Our Eyes definitely shines brightly in the discography of a be-qiffed Adam Lambert. Hot.

    The single’s parent album Trespassing has already topped the charts in the US – making Lambert the first openly gay artist to achieve such a feat. The album is out in the UK on the 2nd of July.

  • SINGLE REVIEW | Call My Name, Cheryl

    Well which name do we call you honey? It’s no longer Cole you know, surely you can’t go back to Tweedy after you’ve had Cole? We’ve done the sums and it just doesn’t work out.
