Taking a go at covering Shakira is no small feat. Attempting to cover ‘Objection’, a deep-cut classic is downright risky. But that’s what Karolina Rose seemingly does best: dances with danger. Her version of ‘Objection’ is sultry and alluring: dressed with rose-gold vibes of modern pop – a noir-coated visage…
The Script’s ‘Sunsets & Full Moons’ is a journey of self-reflection (Album Review)
The Script are back! With a meagre two years having gone by since their last record (seriously, I’m used to a huge waiting game like with Lady Gaga) the Irish three-piece return with their sixth studio album, ‘Sunsets and Full Moons’. But how does the record shape up? To my…
Kesha is ‘Raising Hell’ with her euphoric new track
Kesha’s back! Pop queen of the early 2010s, self-confessed party freak and glitter-infused fist-pumper – she’s never been one to shy away from the matter at hand – and her new single is no different. ‘Raising Hell’ is quintessential Kesha. It’s big, it’s brash and it’s in your face. And…

After a slew of sugar-coated hits like ‘Lollipop’, ‘Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)’, ‘Love Today’ and ‘Grace Kelly’, Mika is back with his fifth studio album, the personal-titled ‘My Name Is Michael Holbrook’ (and yes, that is his real name).

Instead, I was whisked off onto a futuristic, neon-laced trip inside the band’s mind. And it’s a journey I didn’t want to leave. (Photo credit:…

An inside look at the Haus of Gaga in Las Vegas
Ten years ago, Gaga said she’d love to have a museum featuring all of the outfits and tech from her shows. Ten years later, that dream became a reality. I touched down in Las Vegas on the 27th. By the 29th, I got a Twitter notification (I’ve got Gaga alters…
Kylie Minogue steps back in time with her fab greatest hits album
‘Pop Precision since 1987’ is written on the cover of Kylie’s latest greatest hits album, and it couldn’t be more apt. We’ve had thirty years of the Pop Princess blessing us with pure pop perfection, all starting from the fateful release of ‘Loco-Motion’. Since then, we’ve haven’t been able…
