Breaking Dawn Part 2 is the finale to the teen phenomenon The Twilight Saga that has dominated the silver screen for the past 5 years. If you haven’t heard of the series, where have you been for the past half a decade? The first film was released in 2008 and the money making machine that…
The 20/20 Experience is the upcoming third studio album by American pop-star, actor, former Mickey Mouse club and ‘N Sync member, and all around nice guy, Justin Timberlake. It comes almost 7 years after the release of previous album FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006 and it was getting to the point where I was wondering if JT…
Friday Is Forever EP is the new (would you have guessed it) EP from Florida based powerpop band We The Kings. And honestly I don’t understand why they released it. The EP features five tracks, lead single ‘Friday Is Forever’, old fan favourite ‘Check Yes Juliet’ and three previously unreleased acoustic tracks. The band has…
‘Ready or Not’ is the first single from Disney channel star Bridgit Mendler’s debut album Hello My Name Is…. Her previous musical releases have mainly been Disney songs, including the cringe worthy tracks from 2011 Disney Channel movie, Lemonade Mouth (I feel that that title explains perfectly quite how sickeningly sweet the film is). Safe…
Joe Wright and Keira Knightley may be doing what they always do, but they do it damn well, says Hannah Mylrea
Believe Acoustic is (would you have guessed it?) the acoustic version of teen heart-throb Justin Bieber’s chart topping album Believe. It features 8 ‘fan favourite’s’ with 3 new songs. I’ve never really seen the point of acoustic albums; they just seem like an opportunity for the artist to squeeze every penny out of their records.…
When I first heard about this track, I had to wonder what had possessed Macklemore to write a song about thrift shopping; it’s not a subject usually incorporated into rap songs. I was a huge fan of his earlier single ‘Can’t Hold Us’ (AKA that song from the beer advert), so wondered how a song…
I’ve been excited about Pitch Perfect for a while now. As a (not so secret) ‘gleek’ and a fan of everything musical-y, this films right up my street. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the cinema was the range of people who were watching the film. The premise of the movie, which…
‘Kiss You’ is the third single to be taken from One Direction’s recent album, Take Me Home, and is (unfortunately) a song that will invariably replay in your head for about a week after hearing it. It’s got nothing on previous singles (‘Live While We’re Young’ & Ed Sheeran penned ballad ‘Little Things’) but nevertheless…
You’d think it’d be hard for Swift to release a track that was more catchy and upbeat than ‘We Are Never Getting Back Together’; but she’s done it in the form of her upcoming single ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’. ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ is the closest thing that you could get to Taylor…
Olly Murs has been climbing his way to the top of the charts since he came second in 2009’s X Factor, having released 2 commercially successful albums (self titled Olly Murs and In Case You Didn’t Know) which have spawned umpteen hit singles; he’s been doing pretty well for himself. It’s hard to believe he…
Olly Murs is back, and he’s pretty much a big deal now he’s got Flo Rida rapping on one of his tracks. Troublemaker is the lead single from Olly’s third studio album, Right Place Right Time. And it’s everything you could want in a lead single. It’s catchy, got great guitar riffs and has Olly’s…
JLS came into the public eye when they finished second in 2008s X Factor, since then they’ve released 3 albums and had 5 number one hits. Their albums all seem to sell well; but dare I say it, after 4 years their music has become boring! Each album seems to follow a pattern, with formulaic…
Moulin Rouge is every clichéd love story. A penniless writer (Ewan McGregor) falls in love with the beautiful lead courtesan (Nicole Kidman), who tried so hard not to reciprocate these feelings; but in the end realises it’s true love. Oh and it’s set in Paris. And they express themselves through song. As a film concept, it…
