Flashback to 2009 and you may recall the beginning of a three-year hiatus from the band that brought us hits such as Sugar We’re Goin’ Down and Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. Fans were beginning to lose hope and wonder if they’d ever hear another hit from the four-piece again. Flash-forward to 2015, and Fall Out Boy have… Continue reading REVIEW: Fall Out Boy – American Beauty/American Psycho

REVIEW: Cheryl – Only Human
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s new album, Only Human, was supposed to be the X Factor judge’s chance to show that she has found her feet, she’s starting afresh and stripping away everything to show what she’s really about. I was optimistic but, unfortunately, was left disappointed. I was hoping for fewer gimmicks, more talent and more sincerity.… Continue reading REVIEW: Cheryl – Only Human
REVIEW: Taylor Swift – 1989
Don’t know if you’ve heard – it’s been kept relatively quiet (ahem), but Swifty has a new album out. Pop fans of the world, rejoice! Because that’s what 1989 is – pure pop. Tay’s taken a step away from her country roots (although, how ‘country’ was she really?) to go full on pop princess. And… Continue reading REVIEW: Taylor Swift – 1989
REVIEW: Jamie T – Carry On The Grudge
Jamie T’s long-awaited third album is finally here. Carry on the Grudge is a world away from the 28-year-old’s previous street-wise efforts and paints a dark image of how the singer’s view on the world has changed since 2009’s Kings & Queens. Themes of obsession, social margins and addiction run coarse throughout the tracks –… Continue reading REVIEW: Jamie T – Carry On The Grudge
REVIEW: Foxes – Glorious
When Zedd released his track, Clarity, which featured Foxes, I was hooked. Her singing was stunning and I loved it enough to listen to it on repeat for several days. So I am really excited about her new album: Glorious. Even after one listen, I knew that this album was aptly named. After five listens,… Continue reading REVIEW: Foxes – Glorious
REVIEW: You Me At Six – Cavalier Youth
Once upon a time, boys with floppy fringes and a passion for singing about how much they hated their ex-girlfriend dominated Myspace alongside solemn-looking selfies and the infamous internet term “pc 4 pc”. Amidst this trend, five boys known as You Me At Six uploaded a song called Save It For The Bedroom which got… Continue reading REVIEW: You Me At Six – Cavalier Youth
REVIEW: Katy Perry – PRISM
Katy Perry became a household name back in 2008 with her hit single I Kissed a Girl. Since then, she’s rarely stayed out of the public eye, and gone on to achieve huge success with her music. Not only did her Grammy-nominated Teenage Dream album send a whopping five singles to the US No 1… Continue reading REVIEW: Katy Perry – PRISM
REVIEW: Lady Gaga – ARTPOP
Lady Gaga is one of the most successful and controversial solo artists ever to come out of America. Her debut album The Fame sold over 15 million copies worldwide and had us all belting out ‘just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm’ and ‘p-p-p-p-p-p-p-poker face na na na na’ every time we hit the… Continue reading REVIEW: Lady Gaga – ARTPOP
REVIEW: Arctic Monkeys – AM
Three men. Five albums. Five Brit awards. And most importantly, one rogue frontman, with a Sheffield accent and newly exposed quiff. Of course, I’m talking about Arctic Monkeys, whose eagerly anticipated fifth album, AM, is creeping its unique melody into everybody’s ears, and their iTunes too. The first of 12 tracks on AM, “Do I… Continue reading REVIEW: Arctic Monkeys – AM
