The Art Of Doing Nothing by Mark Owen is the singer/songwriter’s fourth solo album and his first since Take That reunited in 2006. The album is bound to attract a lot of attention based on Take That’s monumental success in recent years and so I was looking forward to seeing for myself whether it could… Continue reading REVIEW: Mark Owen – The Art Of Doing Nothing

REVIEW: Noah and the Whale – Heart of Nowhere
Can you believe that Noah and the Whale’s first hit single ‘Five Years Time’ was released six whole years ago? We know, it’s making us feel old too. Putting our feelings of old age aside, Noah and the Whale are back with their fourth studio album, Heart of Nowhere, and it’s a good one. The band… Continue reading REVIEW: Noah and the Whale – Heart of Nowhere
REVIEW: OneRepublic – Native
OneRepublic’s third album ‘Native’ has been on the scene for just over a month now, but having just got my hands on it I’ve decided to do a little review for you guys. OneRepublic were one of my first profile songs on good ol’ MySpace back in the day and so I have a massive soft… Continue reading REVIEW: OneRepublic – Native
REVIEW: Peace – In Love
In Love is the debut album from one of the UK’s fastest-rising bands: Peace. The Birmingham quartet , who formed just two years ago, have put together an impressive piece of work that’s the perfect accompaniment to spring/summer ‘13 (even if the weather outside isn’t). Their sound is reminiscent of The Maccabees and Vampire Weekend… Continue reading REVIEW: Peace – In Love
REVIEW: Bastille – Bad Blood
Internet sensation Bastille is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Dan Smith, who is joined by three other members for the band’s live performances. Smith’s strong South London accent resonates clearly through the album and his voice occasionally bears a ridiculous likeness to that of Josh Franceschi of You Me At Six, which in my humble opinion… Continue reading REVIEW: Bastille – Bad Blood
REVIEW: Justin Bieber – Believe Acoustic
Justin Bieber’s last album ‘Believe’ was arguably the most eagerly anticipated album on 2012 – well, for a certain audience anyway. Bieber’s extremely clever manager and marketing team have come up with a marvellous idea to take even more teenage girls’ money by releasing an acoustic version of worldwide multi-platinum ‘Believe’. Genius. Justin Bieber is… Continue reading REVIEW: Justin Bieber – Believe Acoustic
REVIEW: Frightened Rabbit – Pedestrian Verse
The Selkirk born and bred kings of the indie genre are back and better than ever with their newest album, Pedestrian Verse. Frightened Rabbit, the acoustic, melancholy five-piece who formed ten years ago, have enjoyed a steady rise in success not only in Scotland, but also across the rest of the UK and Ireland. Their… Continue reading REVIEW: Frightened Rabbit – Pedestrian Verse
REVIEW: Kelly Clarkson – Greatest Hits – Chapter One
My teenage years summed up in two words would be: Kelly Clarkson. I spent hours upon hours singing my little heart out to her ‘Breakaway’ album, thoroughly believing she had written every single word directly to me. I saw her in concert and got a t shirt which I still occasionally squish into to relive… Continue reading REVIEW: Kelly Clarkson – Greatest Hits – Chapter One
REVIEW: Ke$ha – Warrior
That P-Diddy feelin’, city hittin’ wild child Ke$ha is back and she doesn’t disappoint. Her latest album Warrior, is a definite improvement on her previous albums but layered with all the same beat pumping, body shaking dance tunes. Ke$ha’s debut album, Animal, hit the no.1 position on the US Billboard chart for nine consecutive weeks.… Continue reading REVIEW: Ke$ha – Warrior
