Sia’s first single proper, ‘Chandelier’ takes a few listens to really grab you, as its large soaring notes and autotuned undertones struggle to gain traction at first as Sia’s powerful voice is used more for impact than necessarily good music. But her energy and power soon show themselves, and though it lacks the emotion and […]
Coming fourth in last year’s The X Factor, Rough Copy have taken the classic Anita Baker song ‘Sweet Love’, keeping its famous hook-filled chorus but slapping so much autotune on it I’m surprised a computer isn’t credited in the sleeve notes. Thrusting the famous hook in amongst an even more heavily autotuned set of verses […]
With the Blurred Lines album and song now behind Mr Thicke, but possibly not the controversy, he’s now moved onto a new album from which this is the first cut, all about his estranged wife ‘Paula’. ‘Get Her Back’ is an ode to his wife but if this was the sort of thing my partner […]
Kravitz is back with this first cut from his tenth studio album ‘Strut’. ‘The Chamber’ boasts a familiar bass sound that I can’t put my finger on, which distracts me more than it should from a track that doesn’t really do anything particularly exciting.

The first cut from the diminutive singer’s second album starts so promisingly: the building verse that opens the track with its pop-funk and retro styles will get your toe-tapping, but then just as the crescendo hits and the bridge builds to what you expect to be a cracking chorus, her vocals fade away and the […]
Fantasia has released a new music video for her latest single “Sleeping With The One I Love”. The music video is quite dramatic but you might think that Fantasia hasn’t delivered it right. Maybe she wanted to do it a little differently and the video came out otherwise. “Sleeping With The One I Love” may […]
