Aquilo, ‘Sober’ – Single Review

I first came across the new track from ‘Aquilo’ thanks to the official charts. I had never heard of this artist before, and I had no previous knowledge of who they were before listening to ‘Sober’. The popularity of the release is increasing rapidly. I can see why. It is a catchy track, and it

Kodaline, ‘Sometimes’ – Single Review

Kodaline have just released their new single ‘Sometimes’. This track is the second single from the bands upcoming new album.

The Weeknd has just dropped his new single ‘After Hours’ which is taken from his new album of the same name.

Justin Bieber, ‘Yummy’ – Single Review

Justin Bieber is back with new track ‘Yummy’ and despite its ridiculous name, it’s actually good. Take away the vocals and I doubt ‘Yummy’ would sit too out of place on a Drake album. However, it does have the signature Bieber sound and although grown up now, Bieber does bring back vibes from his early
