Pop music is interesting to discuss because it is the music that we are most exposed to. Most people have an opinion on these songs and we love exploring the genre.

Charli XCX – Focus / No Angel EP Video Review

Charli XCX’s Focus / No Angel is an exciting new Pop EP from the British singer, which features two tracks, the aforementioned “Focus” and “No Angel”. I have broadly enjoyed Charli’s output since the fantastic Sucker; last year’s mixtapes Number 1 Angel, and Pop 2, certainly had their moments but they were also let down by some of the more experimental tracks. We’re going...

Sigrid – Raw EP | Video Review

We’re looking at Sigrid’s sophomore EP Raw. After winning BBC’s Sound of 2018, awarded to up and comers of the year, people have been anxiously anticipating how Sigrid would cope with the pressure of Raw being her most scrutinised project to date.

Not3s – Take Not3s II | Video Review

Not3s returns with his sophomore EP Take Not3s II, sequel to 2017’s project. The original tape was great exposure for the Hackney rapper/singer, Take Not3s created the viral hit “Addison Lee (Peng Ting Called Madison)” which only peaked #57 but established his style. While similar to fellow Afrobeat afficiando J Hus, Not3s has created his own lane and recently appeared on charting songs...

Drake – Scorpion | Video Review

Drake has released Scorpion, his first studio album since 2016’s Views – of course this ignores last year’s pleasurable playlist More Life. At 25 tracks and 90 minutes in length, Scorpion is quite an undertaking and not recommended for consumption in a single sitting. There are bright spots on this album like the heartfelt “March 14” where Drake talks to his recently announced son, and...

Beach House – 7 | Video Review

I can’t believe we have never discussed my favourite band, the immortal Dream Pop duo, Beach House. They have recently released their much-anticipated seventh studio album, the delightful 7. The band often attract criticism for not evolving their sound enough, this album looks like an addressing of this as they move towards a heavier, more electronic direction, while retaining the core...
